I've done this a couple of times Shel, usually when I have some doubts about whether a film was rated up or down accidentally. The last time I asked a commercial processor to do it was when I knew my original ME was giving inconsistent exposures (turned out it was so inconsistent that only about 10% of the exposures were usable!). Since I normally process E6 myself, I would be able to do that for myself when in doubt. I also did it recently with a B&W film when I managed to confuse myself as to whether it had been exposed or not: turned out it hadn't, so I had about 25 frames I could use on the residue.
