We did this for our most recent front-end hire, actually. We gave him a two-day project to complete for us, and compensated him with what we thought to be a fair stipend for his time. He completed the project, we hired him, he cleaned up the project, and we actually put it into production a week after his hiring date. Everything worked out fine, and the developer in question is quite competent, sane, and rational.

Yeah but you paid him for it, that's a different situation.

It makes sense if you basically call it a freelancing job with an option to hire. If it's an unpaid interview, though, it just seems unfair and likely to turn away some of the best candidates.
