Yes, I came to know this feature some while ago (loop-back via dvr device). But I also think dvbloop has its use-cases. For example, (1) dvbloop used to deliver a TS stream received over a network from a PC having a real DVB card, or (2) inside a Virtual Machine (VM). I personally use this for developing the dvb-net module. Could also be used to do testing on dvb-core BTW, I've created a development repository for dvbloop based on the current v4l-dvb master repository.
