At high level, it makes sense to require to allow simultaneous DHCP and
SLAAC usage on a same subnet; a private email suggests the same.
With that, Android and Windows would live ok side-by-side on same subnet.

Further, thinking about how to implement the req, one would wonder
whether the prefix in PIO with A flag set in an RA with M set, would be
the same as the prefix used by the DHCP Server to form and deliver
addresses?

(if yes, I think that is difficult to achieve: (1) difficult to put same
prefix in the software implementing RA sending, and in the DHCP server
connfig files and (2) difficult to make sure the Server does not form an
address for a Client, address that a Host has already formed in the same
prefix).

(because of that reason, I think that trying to implement that
requirement would lead to designating a prefix for SLAAC and another
prefix for DHCP; that may sound a little bit as a waste).
