Would one of these be useful for a long-chain (AKA front-crossover AKA front-drive) tandem? Hmmmm.. I may try this.

Also, can't you use a ten-speed Shimano derailleur with a 9-speed Shimano shifter and it will just work? The same way I use an 8-speed cassette and shifter with a 9-speed XTR derailleur? The cable pull's the same, right?
