I lean towards keeping the current behavior because -T isn't really a
distinct output mode that should override (or be overridden) by -P. Note
the difference in the headers here:

    $ df -T | head -n 1
    Filesystem     Type      1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    $ df -P -T | head -n 1
    Filesystem     Type     1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on

There are also some differences when using -P, as described in the
manual [1], that one might want combined with the type. Therefore,
disallowing it would probably not be nice.
