Yes, there are a number of owners with the SRAM DualDrive on Lafree bikes with the Xtracycle extension. It's better done that way since it gives a longer chainrun for the derailleur to work well without having to fight the idler on the Panasonic unit.
One owner I met reckons it's an ideal pairing, and William Morrison in the USA uses one of these outfits for his daily commute and runs at over 20 mph for quite a lot of the time.
