Please add a reason why this combination is invalid.

Agreed - this is definitely a valid combination. The "background" flag simply specifies if this is a foreground or background job. The "wait_until_complete" flag specifies whether we're blocking until we get our response. It is possible (and probably encouraged) to not block on a foreground job.

If jobs are sent as foreground, the gearmand server will not put them in
the queue (e.g. MySQL).
The server starts run these jobs after 'wait_until_jobs_accepted'.
However, because the submit_job method returns to the caller shortly after,
what will happen is that most of these foreground jobs will be dropped by
the server and not executed.
(I have an example code confirmed this.)
