Microsoft can't do both, Google Android and Nokia X (AOSP). As part of the contract they have to sign to have access to Google Android, OEMs can't sell phones with an incompatible version of Android, that is, Nokia X.
So, a Lumia Android would be just the Nokia X with a better name.
Or they might drop the X line and go with Google Android. Microsoft is now in the devices business, and they have to sell devices, and more importantly premium devices, in as large of numbers as possible. If Android sells and WP doesn't, why bother with WP? I know that WP gets users onto their services, but maybe the numbers are low enough that it's not worth hemorrhaging cash on WP to get the customer on Microsoft's services.
FWIW, I don't see this happening. It's simply a possible scenario.
