I am wondering if there are some deeper issues getting NoSQL support in Web2py - for instance the model part seems pretty tied into relational ideas (e.g db.define_table and ..references db.dog etc). This design works really well and insulates developers from much of the fiddlyness of dealing directly with relation db's quirks, but the ideas themselves are clearly relational.
The other big DAL issue would be joins..but I guess integration with GAE has covered that to some extent (tho it looks like GAE can kinda fake a join with referenced properties...might be able to do something like that with Mongo, but not for all other NoSQLs).
