Yes.

I don't know if it's possible to change the design to support other
things. I'm glad to have people evaluate it. The 'reproject' switch that
is in SVN is *not* actual reprojecting: instead, it simply stretches the
tiles to request whatever the base map says is the correct tile to use
for that location. For Google (for reasons I don't really understand)
this is non-deterministic: If you set a different center, the tiles draw
differently.

The functionality you want doesn't exist for layers which don't accept
arbitrary bounding boxes at the moment.
