Not sure what this is referring to. Do you mean combining both items at once, or do you mean the interaction with her passive?

If you mean that dual Armor/MR reduction don't synergize, because it requires two different kinds of itemization for damage, this is technically true. Usually you will see either Malady or Black Cleaver alone with similar damage items, not together in the same build. This has nothing to do with Kayle though, it's pretty much the case for every champion.

If you mean the interaction with Holy Fervor (her passive), it's true that the flat shred is calculated before the %shred, so you diminish the effect of her passive by getting flat reduction. But you don't miss out on THAT much from her passive on champions, so the effect is kind of over-exaggerated. It's still a net positive to combine the two, just like it is for the %pen masteries.
