I think it's because it is bonded with formaldehyde, but I think the amount of formaldehyde depends on the country you live in. I know we're told in Britain not to inhale the dust and also that if you're using it in furniture it must be properly sealed, but to be fair nearly everything apparently causes cancer nowadays. :P It's just something to bear in mind anyway.

MDF... if I recall correctly that's the cheapy wood like stuff and is safe. It's etching and litho that'll give you worse ailments.

As for cutting lino, I've cut that stuff with xacto blades (but don't buy xacto gouges. They are less than useless) for line work. It doesn't take that much effort. In fact, before doing wide area cuts, I use an xacto blade to delineate the shape.
