I went looking for temporal anomalies related to casimir effect. This link, 
http://www.andersoninstitute.com/casimir-effect.html
 is an excellent review and update but did not lend much support to my quest 
despite the title. There was also an  important reminder regarding the real 
world limits on the effect. [snip]above the plasma frequency metals become 
transparent to photons (such as x-rays), and dielectrics show a 
frequency-dependent cutoff as well. This frequency dependence acts as a natural 
regulator. There are a variety of bulk effects in solid state physics, 
mathematically very similar to the Casimir effect, where the cutoff frequency 
comes into explicit play to keep expressions finite. (These are discussed in 
greater detail in Landau and Lifshitz, "Theory of Continuous Media".) [/snip]
