Nothing prevents the mecanum drive from translating and reorienting all at once. With field-centric driving, this is a very easy maneuver.
Also I think Ether had some math that described turning with mecanums, the force vectors from the wheels naturally align (there's little to no wheel scrubbing while turning, this is also a feature of dropped center 6wd). I'll edit this post if I can find it.
