Thanks for asking this question in a clear and direct way.
A few other variations on the question come to mind:
If a programmer uses a library implement via coroutines, can she
call library methods from an __xxx__ method?
Can coroutines or microthreads co-exist with callbacks invoked by
C extensions?
Can a program do any microthread IO in an __call__ method?
If any of these are the sort "in theory" problems that the PEP alludes
to, then we need a full spec for what is and is not allowed. It
doesn't make sense to tell programmers to follow unspecified
"reasonable" programming practices.
