Yeah, it'd quickly explode. Probably be fun to watch, though.

it would be interesting to work out, what extra features would bcache need to provide so that a clustered filesystem could use it without issue... i assume just some API to tell bcache to invalidate some block...

Yeah, nothing more complicated than that. Make a new bio flag to invalidate a region of cache, and make sure everything that isn't a cache ignores it. Making bcache handle it would be trivial, it'd just be a matter of making sure ocfs2 always invalidates what it needs to.
