I like the idea, but until wordpress has actually been refactored as a  
"built-off-BackPress" app, then it won't really be that useful to the  
general audience. In fact what you've just described is the invention  
of a framework of sorts that builds off the best of the 'common'  
elements of WP and bbP, but I don't know if PHP needs another framework.

In fact, wouldn't it make more sense just to integrate bbPress as a  
wordpress plugin? Seems like it could inherit everything it needed  
that way pretty easily. I mean, Wordpress already is a pretty strong  
backbone.
