With my understanding of how NATs work, I don't see why.
Could you elaborate?

Admin pain.

Many unixes today let you configure the same IP/netmask on two interfaces, and it can be used (don't ask, ok?), and it works as long as it works, but as soon as you get a problem it's a hard one.

(Btw, I've seen NATs that reject/discard all packets coming in on the world interface with source addresses in the inside-NAT range.)
