In matchplay, has a hole ever been halved in 1, i.e. both players 'aced' or 'holed out' with their tee shots.

I know there have been back to back holes in one. I don't know if they had an offical match play match in progress. I'm sure some of them may have been playing skins

I personally know of a woman who did this while playing college golf. It was even mentioned in Sports Illustrated, if I recall. Her name is Jennifer Creps. I don't know if she still lives in Virginia Beach, or not, but she used to several years ago. She was on the Futures Tour (LPGA equivalent of the PGA Nationwide Tour) for a while.
Anyway, if I recall correctly, she was playing for the James Madison University women's golf team at the time. It was a par 3, and the guys from the men's team were playing ahead of her and her opponent, and were watching the women play the hole that they (the men) had just completed. Jennifer's opponent aced the hole, and of course there was much cheering and clapping from the guys from her college men's team who witnessed it. (Sorry, I can't recall who JMU was playing) So Jennifer stepped up and aced it right behind her, which naturally enough, got cheers from the JMU guys, thus halving the hole with her opponent. I don't recall who eventually won the match, but it was something that no one had seen in quite some time and it probably hasn't happened that much since then either.

Some time ago I managed to scramble a half at the par 3 8th on the old course (the one before the council built a road through it) Gillingham in Kent (UK) against Dean Wilson in the final of the Juniour Club Championship. Dean had the honour and knocked it nicely on the green, I stepped up and proceeded to slap it out of bounds, more out of frustration than anything else dropped another and hit it thin straight in the hole, I guess poor Dean was never going to make the putt for his birdie after that. Infact he never recoverd and lost 3&1 after walking onto the 8th 2 up.
Not quite what you asked but I thought worth sharing.

Apparently not.
"No record could be found through the U.S. Golf Association, the National Golf Foundation or the U.S. Golf Register of a twosome both hitting a hole-in-one on the same hole. The U.S. Golf Register, which bills itself as the official hole-in-one golf register, lists the odds of a hole-in-one at anywhere from 20,000-to-1 to 33,000-to-1."
However, I did find two news stories (the quote above is from one) about playing partners both making a hole-in-one on the same hole in non-match play.
