and I thought there was nothing more GAS inducing than the HG310 
Back no doubt, I say brilliant. I’ve wondered for years why nobody built a vertical 410 this is genius. I’m just trying not to buy another 50 pounder. I have an AE 212 thats great. I’m sure, “it will kill”.
Does this speaker orientation and/or the addition of the rear facing driver ameliorate some of the artifacts inherent to a normal 410 arrangement?
"Ameliorate" means "to look up in the dictionary your own self"
Wow. You’re really mean and edgy. Please don’t hurt me.
Not sure why I’d want to fire one of my speakers at the curtain behind me. Or the wall. 
Maybe I’m just spoiled by my NV610.

Point it at the drummer, but only if they've been good.
The NV610 has spoiled many a bassist. You’re in good company.Not sure why I’d want to fire one of my speakers at the curtain behind me. Or the wall.

What I noticed about the HG310 with this speaker arrangement is that to me it sounds "bigger" than it's size. I would think that depends on the room played in and wall proximity. But I did test in several setups and always had this impression.Not sure why I’d want to fire one of my speakers at the curtain behind me. Or the wall.

I thought everyone hated them Orange isobaric cabs because of the rear speakers, so isn't this the same concept?
Aside from being selfish and wanting my speakers pointed at *my* back (who cares about the drummer anyway? He can ask for more bass in his monitor mix
), your statement of it sounding bigger is what I would expect because the cab is purposefully firing in multi-directions. For me, I can only conceive of this being a negative result as I’ve played too many rooms where it was difficult enough to get the bass from reverberating. This configuration most certainly will add to that pain.
