RAW implies that the maneuver you select for your reflex action has no effect on your active defenses. You still can't defend and AOA on the same turn, but you don't sacrifice the option to defend until you actually claim your AOA. Reach permitting, you can even substitute a standard Attack for your AOA in this event:

By analogy, the same should be permitted with a CA after a parry with the weapon you intend to use to attack and/or after a Retreat.
