There _is_ documented, approved support for using both HFP and A2DP together.
Take it from the horse's mouth (i.e. the Bluetooth SIG): 
http://www.bluetooth.org/docman/handlers/downloaddoc.ashx?doc_id=49216

Headsets capable of both high-quality media playback and microphone
input areclassified as having the role "HANDSFREE WITH RENDERING DEVICE
CAPABILITIES (HF_RD)". Full implementation guidelines are in the
document.

So my guess is that there's nothing holding back implementing this. Yay!
Like profiles for other sound devices, Pulseaudio should offer a profile like 
"High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) + Analog(?) Microphone Input (HFP Source)" 
for such devices.
