I want to create some raised beds using some pieces of timber. I was
planning on buying some rough-sawn timber from a DIY store and
treating with something like Cuprinol- but was worried this stuff
might leak into the soil and damage edible crops. Is this likely?

Look at the label on the tin, most will say that they are plant
friendly, creosote, which was definitely not, is being withdrawn form
sale in any case. Most of the modern ones are safe to use round plants.
