Interesting that this was tested at Framestore (the visual effects company), they used to be a Lustre shop years ago then moved to commercial NFS servers and must be back onto commodity hardware now.

I could see a use for both - using Lustre as a shared SAN for their flame/smoke/etc suites and using pNFS for workstation/render-node shared storage. at least that's how i've deployed things in the past.
i could see this replacing isilon (which is built on freebsd) for the later use-case :)
