By this he, I believe, means that such a concatenation is not illicit
per se, does not, for example, trigger a JCL error.

There is, however, a notorious extrinsic side effect.  The members of
the authorized libraries in such a concatenation cease to be
authorized (and thus in most cases usable) within its scope.

Probably for want of imagination the only use for such a mixed
concatenation that I have been able to think of is as a convoluted
device for triggering ABENDs.
