Workaround

Add the layer to the map manually and use UpdateLayer to import the other symbology. For example:#####import arcpymxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current")df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]Output_LAC_Raster = r"<a href="file:C:/testdata/data.gdb/Landcover_Level2_NLCD2006" target="_blank">C:\testdata\data.gdb\Landcover_Level2_NLCD2006</a>"arcpy.SetParameterAsText(0, Output_LAC_Raster)updatelayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)arcpy.AddMessage(updatelayer)updatelayer2 = arcpy.mapping.Layer(updatelayer)sourceL = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"<a href="file:C:/testdata/lac.lyr" target="_blank">C:\testdata\lac.lyr</a>")arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df, updatelayer2, sourceL)arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, updatelayer2)arcpy.RefreshTOC()#####
