Here is an official site with willow bark information:

The potential is there... but depending on dose, I would think the risks of bleeding would be less than aspirin if used prudently.

The bleeding effects are not local from the stomach always...they can be induced thru the blood stream to the tissues that way.
That is how all NSAIDs work. They interfere with PGE1 synthesis which builds the protective stomach lining in the first place.
