Quite the contrary, I think it would prove very useful. As far as I can tell,
it seems to be how many contributors actually proceed in WP: as they are
working on a given page, they actively monitor if (and what) others have edited
after one's own contributions... This "how dare they?!" attitude seems a big
driving force!  To allow showing only those pages where the user is not the
last contributor would really make this monitoring easier.  

To my opinion, as this "hide top edits" option would be useful for virtually
all regular WP contributors, it would be even more widely used than the novel  
option (r1.17) to "show only top edits" (which mainly addresses to rollbackers
and the like described in comment #1).

As comment #6, I agree that a 3-alternative radio button could be one way to
go. 
However, I think this option should be on the Special:Watchlist rather than on
the Special:Contributions. For it is aimed at monitoring pages rather than
users.

Please note that, to be really useful, the "hide top edits" option would need
to also hide all earlier edits on those pages where the user is the last
contributor (i.e. not only the last edits).

Cheers
