Technically, that should be possible. The Tor process probably won't even notice that it's acting as client and server. I'm planning to do the same thing for measuring hidden service performance in Torperf. I didn't try this yet, but I don't expect any issues. Of course, from an anonymity POV, there's a quite high probability that you're using the same entry guard for the actual connection between client and service. That entry guard could easily detect from traffic patterns that you're connecting to yourself. Not sure if that matters for your use case.
