The last page of massechet brachot says we say "lech l'shalom" and not "lech
b'shalom" to living people, and "lech b'shalom" to people who have passed
away with pesukim as sources. (David said "lech b'shalom to Avshalom and
look what happened...)

Maybe because angels and people who have passed away don't have free will
and can't make the kind of problems Avshalom made there is no problem of
wishing them "lech b'shalom".
