The data model supports it, but the user interface discourages it currently.
Right now you can obtain this result in the interface by temporarily setting
"Company A Office" as a company while adding "Contact A". The Contacts tab will
remain visible afterwards because it won't be empty.
This is clearly bad on a usability point of view, and this is what bug 1151947
is about (proper solution yet to be found).
PS: you can also have multiple companies in the same hierarchy in a similar
manner: be sure to set the parent company on the subsidiary company before
checking the "is_company" flag, and the parent company will remain visible
after checking the "is_company" flag.
