It's up to the judges to deduct -GOE if they feel that the landing on the other foot was a flaw. I personally would love to see someone do a 1-foot axel into a salchow! I'm about 85% sure it would be marked as a combination and given full credit (the other 15% of me sees the TS and judges going "what the heck just happened?!").
If I didn't remember wrong, a prelim skater did an inside axel - double Sal - flip sequence at our Nationals, and only the double Sal - flip was called.

From one of the USFSA clarification documents posted a while back:

A one-foot Axel is considered an Axel jump element, although it is not specifically listed in the ISU Scale of Values. It is an exception to the rule and will be counted as fulfilling the requirement of an "Axel type jump," as well as a jump element.

Note: Walley jumps and inside Axels are not found in the ISU Scale of Values. These jumps, along with half turn jumps such as half loop, split jump, stag jump and falling leaf, are not considered to be jump elements in the new
well-balanced program rules and are not limited. These jumps are referred to in this clarification as "Unclassified Jumps." Be advised that these Unclassified Jumps will not increase a skater’s technical merit mark. Judges will evaluate such Unclassified Jumps as transitions/skating movements. The inside axel jump will not fulfill the requirement for an "axel type jump."
