As you can see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note), too.

I agree with the "huzzah", even for Kieren himself!

But for me it is another form of the breve, not of the longa.
Kieren, what was your intention? (I thougt you wanted a  
quadruple-whole-note.)

On the other hand, it should be easy to change your last example from

\score { { \dbreve b'\breve*2 } }
to
\score { { \dbreve b'\breve } }

To me, this would make sense.
