I got this to work using PPP Widget. It requires a rooted nexus 7 and a usb otg cable. Unlike BlueVPN, it's not wireless, but it gives full internet access on the tablet and it does so at very good speeds.
Steps:
Download PPP Widget from the play store and add the widget to a homescreen (grant superuser access when prompted).
Select "Configure" on the widget.
- Fill in Access Point Name (I just entered a blank space here).
- Disable automatic device detection.
Connect N9 with usb otg cable.
- Choose "Sync and connect" option on N9.
Select the PPP icon and choose your N9 from the list.
Hit Connect.
The widget manages the wifi connection so I didn't have to turn off wifi on the nexus to get this to work. I have yet to find an internet enabled app that can't connect to the net.
Bonus: not only does the n9 charge while connected to the nexus 7, the wifi hotspot app can be used simultaneously for other devices.

Thank you coomac,
I'm using your method: Nexus 7 + PPP Widget + USB OTG + Nokia N9.
Works perfectly!

Blutooth PAN??
BlueVPN uses Bluetooth DUN. In my Jelly Bean device Blutooth PAN is working without 3rd party apps. However, I don't know whether N9 supports BT PAN, I used only BlueVPN to tether to it and it worked fine.

bluevpn will be nicer, cable-free solution, so if i'm on the school run for example, N9 in my pocket, bluetooth on, nexus in my hands checking whatever yay. This works better though!
