I'll argue that doing both is a bad idea in any case (just from the
confusion point of view :-)

I usually configure the VLAN used to manage the device as "untagged"
so that I can plug my notebook into a trunk port and manage the
device. This has proven extremely handy in outage situations where the
normal management methods don't work.

it's handy, but it's not that hard to create a VLAN on your laptop interface. I agree this is one of the places where it's useful to mix the two, but I would not have this be the normal management interface on the AP, but a secondary 'back-door' interface (similar to the way I will frequently create a hidden admin SSID that doesn't route outside the router)

This needs to be documented cleanly though.
