Logical loophole in Summoner's SLAs RSS

I was reading the APG the other day, and I noticed something odd about the summoner's abilities.

I thought the big hoopla concerning Summoners when the APG was released was that they lost the ability to SLA and Eidolon at the same time (in addition to the sleep stuff, but let's not get into that here). However, the restriction is only put one-way explicitly, i.e. can't cast (but critically not use) the SLA when an Eidolon is out. There is nothing about calling the Eidolon once the SLA is already out. That means as long as the summoner is higher than level 1, and has at least one minute of prep, they can use both simultaneously, and it becomes worth it to use simultaneously.

Is this as designed, or is it a loophole in the functionality?

Thanks

That's the problem with the Summoner.

There are so many special rules that you can't really tell.
