It's always billed as a 'fisheye' lens, but how does it do on an ASP-C
sensor camera?

Someone right here has suggested that this lens might offer similar
to same results as the Canon 10-22 USM, given that it's sweetspot
is as rectilinear as other ultra-wides for the same crop-sensor
cameras. Is this true?

These lenses sell for under $200 regularly.
If they offer rectilinear performance near to the Canon 10-22 USM
as used on an ASP-C camera, then I'll buy.

But, who's used one, and do they measure up?

It's not rectilinear even on the 1.6 crop. You can de-fish it, but if you really need a super-wide on a crop, I'd rather try Tokina 11-16/2.8 or 12-24/4.

Zenitar 16/2.8, on the other hand, will work on a full frame camera.

Here's a shot with it at f/11 on a 40D:
