I think it would be useful to have the openid extension enabled in labs prototypes if wikimedia ran as a provider and the openid extension was forced to use the wikimedia provider for login. Just adding in the OpenID extension without thought really just makes things more confusing and less usable.
I think it would be a huge help to have openid installed and available on labs mw instances by default.

Ryan: this must be tested. I think, it NOT possible on the same server (Provider - Consumer)
There is no problem with having the provider and consumer on the same server (I run it like that in my local dev environment). You may hit a problem if you're using one dns name / ip, and subfolders for each wiki instance.
