AGPL and GPL v3 are explicitly compatible, IIRC. You can run into some trouble with v2.
What I mean is that you (IIUC) can't use an AGPL library in a GPL app without relicensing the whole thing to AGPL. For many larger projects relicensing is a huge hassle and often a non-starter if there aren't very good reasons for it.
You're right, the explicit permission is only the other way around.
