I heard that they allowed this before. Maybe they stopped it for a few years and now, they are allowing it again.
I think it's facility dependent. Since the Clovis facility has two 50 meter pools they are able to run three courses simultaneously for the D events. With only two courses running allowing swimmers to do both could make for an exceptionally long day on Thursday. The last time I remember where they could also do this was Ft. Lauderdale back in 2005 .
I agree there should be plenty of recovery time between the two events, but I'm thinking about the meet as a whole. I'm usually running on fumes as it is by Sunday. Adding another event on Thursday probably wouldn't help!
