I imagine an early application will be more extensive fuzz testing of the Javascript sandbox security implementation. This will hopefully lead to better sandboxes. Unfortunately it's also likely to lead to more undisclosed zero day exploits being sold to intelligence agencies and crooks.

Doubtful. If you wanted to test Javascript security you'd do it by writing Javascript code directly, not by writing 386 machine code which runs in an emulated machine implemented in Javascript.
