Sorry, no: only the controls have this logic. (Since the getExtent
function is used *internally*, it needs to use the projection of the
map: I'm considering adding an option to let you control what it
returns, but that's probably for 2.7.)

However, any object returned from getBounds, getLonLat, etc. can be
translated with:

  object.transform(map.getProjectionObject(), map.displayProjection);

It will be transformed in place, and you can then use the bounds for
further manipulation.
