MAC-with-per-message-key is a reasonable mode, regardless of whether or not it is important enough to make the initial cut for JOSE. It would look more like JWE then JWS. It highlights that we really need to drop this JWE/JWS dichotomy, and have a single JOSE message that supports any number of modes (at least plain, signed, MACed, encrypted, key-exchange + encrypt; perhaps key-exchange + MAC, compressed, plus whatever the future needs).
