I realize that theoretically this will work just fine but is it safe and has anyone ever seen this?

What if you ran the two circuits at max amperage? Wouldn't this put a lot of load on the lone neutral?
masraum, Isounds like you're on the right track. Put the aluminum conductors under the screws. If I am not mistaken, there are recepticles designed for use with Al wiring. I suppose they're designed to deal with the expansion/contraction of aluminum.
