Right. On the G1, if an app needs an OpenGL context, it takes over the frame buffer and 2D rendering is suspended until the application relinquishes control.
As Dianne indicated, there is a lot of work going on our internal master branch related to supporting multiple OpenGL contexts. This includes the ability to support an OpenGL surface allocated through the WindowManager that will play nicely with the 2D view system.
