I am an actual OpenPGP shill who is entirely in favour of a very conservative approach to the standard but I really don't see the problem here. Autocrypt is a separate standard. Clients can implement it completely and just switch the trust to OpenPGP if a PGP identity shows up. There is nothing wrong with a client adding some extra trust information to accommodate autocrypt.
