I've had dragons as cohorts, allies, recurring enemies etc. and once I had two dragon PCs. The other players had no idea they were dragons, though. This was a campaign with a group of mostly newbie players.
Two guys kept getting killed all the time, because they simply didn't care about their characters; PC death was simply a chance to make a new PC to them. When they got themselves killed on a (mostly) uninhabited group of remote islands, I told them there were only two options for their new characters: Either play members of the clan of manically depressed dwarves living on one island, or they could be song dragons (from Monsters of Faerun).
The shape-changing song dragons like to live incognito in human societies, but one of these islands was where they came to mate and raise their little wyrmlings. Since song dragons can only take the shape of a human woman, I figured they have to assume their real shape to mate with their own kind.
Obviously the players preferred playing dragons over playing manically depressed dwarves. They told the party they were escapees from a society of amazons, and persuaded the others to stay away from the island were the 'amazons' lived. The players loved their new characters and did all they could to keep them alive, which was just the effect I was hoping for when allowing them to play dragons.

Breaks Games
I havn't actually run the game, but it's one I've been considering for a while.
Picked up the 2nd edition Council of Wyrms boxed set - would most likely run something along those lines. The PCs would all be dragons and get heavily involved in the politics of the council.
The conversion mechanics were getting slightly long winded, but the main problem I had was finding a plot that would hang together properly... I'll get round to it one day!
