It's like taking a bill out of your left pocket and putting it into your right pocket. Sure you can, but I can't shake the feeling that we're not getting the complete question.

If you use any [HD wallet](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet) on your computer, no one besides you knows that these addresses belong to the same person or even belong to the same wallet. Spying on your computer and analysis on the blockchain being excluded, of course.

Therefore, these transactions go through just like you were sending money to someone else.

If you use an online service, the service provider knows that these addresses belong to the same account. What they do in such a case is any service's decision but most will probably treat it like any other transaction. blockchain.info seems to be no exception: <https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95809.0>
