It's not that it's "incompatible," really, it's just that it works 
differently.

Keep in mind that when you mix weighted and unweighted conditions,
all weighted conditions are processed before any unweighted condition
is looked at.

That's not correct.  Conditions are processed in order; you can see this
from verbose log output.  The only difference is that, with the exception
of scores that hit +/- supremum, weighted conditions continue to be
computed even when the result could not change the outcome of the recipe.  
A non-matching unweighted condition mixed in will still stop the recipe
(and the score) at the point where it appears.
