Recording two different formats at the same time might not be technically possible. When you switch from one recording format to another the camera does a soft reboot. That is also the reason why in playback mode you only see the files of the recording format your camera is currently set to.

Count me in onto the feature request for dual recording. That would be a cool safety feature for those instances where you want to make sure nothing goes wrong. I had an incident where my Lexar CFast card died after recording interviews with two CEOs- without me noticing and I had to reshoot several days later at my own expenses. Luckily the corporate client took it nicely.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
