Do they not require that you distribute with no further restrictions than what they restrict (the GFDL uses 'and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License', and the GPL uses 'You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein'). The difference between requiring no further restrictions, and requiring identical terms being that they are fine with you granting additional permissions*.
If I'm right about this, a document licensed as 'The GFDL and/or GPL v2, at your option' by the copyright holder could be distributed by a third party under the GFDL, the GPL, or 'The GFDL and/or GPL v2, at your option'. (If I'm wrong about this, it may be the case that Mozilla FireFox is mis-licensed, as its source is made available under the GPL, MPL, and LGPL.)
* Though, of course, they don't grant you permission to grant additional permissions; only the copyright holder can do that.
