Comment (by nacin):

 This is actually by design. Post type archives are designed to be for a
 single post type. Otherwise, ?post_type in a URL is no different than any
 other query string designed to alter a blog's results (like ?order=asc).
 We probably could load archive.php in this case and not break a ton, but
 I'd rather not risk it. This is less of a maybelater than a by-design. If
 you want to enforce a particular template, you can do so.
