Here's a pic of one. Since it's the dowels that actually support the cake, I would think that with good doweling and plate support (and I always use cardboards AND cake plates anyway with my cakes), it will be awesome!
jreimer, do you mean what is now the "top" of the cake? If so, yes, you do ice that. If you mean what is now the underside (what would ordinarily be the top of the layer if the cake wasn't "upside-down", no you wouldn't. I think that the cake board would go all the way to the edge of the layer.
I do mean what is now the bottom of the cake - where the cardboard is - I was thinking you should ice it since its showing now - and wouldn't look so good if someone would see it from below - but I'm not sure how icing would stick on underneath like that.

maybe the cover the cake boards in matching fondant?? I was wondering that my self actually. I would sooo love to try this. Using a cake dummy for the bottom teir maeks the most sense to me. I was also thinking of using some sort of mealt plate and flange system so each cake is just resting on it's own plate but once it is all constructed it would look like it is truly upside down?? I might be channeling my inner Duff on that one though. Post Pics when you are done!!
