One of our boards has a type A socket which can be swapped between host and device mode, by swapping the physical connection between the PXA2xx's internal device controller and an external host controller. Technically it is just a header with a type-A socket breakout but we do not make a type-B breakout and so we use A to A cables. We buy these in rather than making them ourselves so I've always assumed we are not the only ones who do something like this -- although I couldn't point you to another example. I don't know what the specifications say about having a device controller behind a type A socket, I suspect it frowns upon it.
