I never checked with 8Gbit, actually (we only had one 8Gbit-capable card, so no 8Gbit initiators). Just with 4Gbit. Also, keep in mind that 8Gbit doesn't have as long of a range as running at 4Gbit.

-Update-
My Qlogic 8Gb HBA now works in target mode after a recent update.
@adamvh:
what kind of configuration did you use? Which Build/release version are you using?
And what kind of OS do you have on the server side?
I tried it if windows 2008 Server 64bit R2 and the SANSurfer HBA Manager.
So you get a stable 8Gbit connection?
