Apart from the fact that these are under separate sections of
the constitution (recall §4.1, position statement §4.5) and thus
arguably independent resolutions (which, I suppose, can still be put
on the same ballot), we have these five courses of action that are
present on the proposals and amendments:
A) Recall the DPL
B) Do not recall the DPL
C) Affirm DPL and say nice things about dunc-tank (Loïc)
D) Affirm DPL and be non-commital about dunc-tank (Joss)
E) Do not affirm anything.
A and C are mutually exclusive, as are C, D, and E. Given
this, a joint ballot would have to look like:
1) A + C
2) A + D
3) A + E
4) B + C
5) B + D
6) B + E
7) FD
Now, even if A + C and A + D seem pathological,
1) A + E
2) B + C
3) B + D
4) B + E
5) FD
Which is better. But the consensus seems to be emerging that
these are separate issues, an d separate ballots look like:
[ ] Recall
[ ] Do not recall
[ ] FD
[ ] Affirm DPL + approve dunc-tank (Loïc)
[ ] Affirm DPL (Joss)
[ ] FD

No, that is not so. Since your recall is an independent
resolution from the affirmation, you are not delayed. Since Loïc
did not accept Joss's amendment, he is not delayed either -- only
accepted amendments to a proposal reset discussion times. (same is
true for combining
