Edit: Er, wait, I just remembered that I modified the CMUcam2 attached to my EDU-RC to derive it's internal +5v from the EDU-RC's +5v supply. So, I'm not sure if the +7.2v is available on the PWM outputs.
Yeah, the EDU-RC works OK to provide power through the PWM output. For the demo unit that I used during the kick-off, I used one of the IFI mini-controllers, which is internally nearly identical. On that unit, power was pulled from the "PWM Out" header on the mini-controller and routed to the camera.
