If it's the exact same implementation then that doesn't really add a second layer. If, however, I am provided the option to run HTTPS over a VPN tunnel, then I would happily do that in a heartbeat. In fact, I frequently do run my web traffic over a proxy, thereby giving it at least two layers of encryption.
