Nice addition! But it seems a little bit awkward to have to create a new path that then never gets used. It seems that it could be done by adding a "Fill path" effect that just fills the original path. If the effect comes first in the Effect list then it would be painted under the result of the other effects. If it comes last in the list it would be painted on top (giving you the stroke applied to outside of path result).

My understanding is that having a single stroke and fill for the path is what would cause this not to work.
Ideally, the 'fill' object would have no stroke and use the path's fill. The powerstroke object would also have no stroke, but use the path's stroke for its fill. From my understanding both objects would use the same stroke and fill, so there would be no way to specify a fill that didn't also then affect the powerstroke.
I've attached two images, the first is my understanding of what such an option would create: http://inkscape.13.n6.nabble.com/file/n3667188/first.png
The second is the desired behavior (assuming you selected black for the stroke color and blue for the fill): http://inkscape.13.n6.nabble.com/file/n3667188/second.png
I created these by creating the path, duplicating it and then applying the powerstroke effect to one of them, using the other for the fill.
Of course, it's certainly possible that I'm completely off on my understanding, but that's what I've gotten from this so far :)
