Would there be a useful reason to actually do this (run Docker in Docker), or is it more just a novelty?

If anything, it's needed for the development of docker itself. We already build docker with docker (https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/Dockerfile), but we can't yet test docker with docker because of the nesting problem.
I'd like to give each tenant a container and let them run Docker app containers within that.
