My friend has gone through the same situation. It seems that he was in still worse a situation, as he had run out of the six-year limit of H1-B visa. As had been told to me by him, I shall give below the way he is manoeuvring the situation:
He received the EAD card just after the lay-off. Based on the EAD, he found another job, but the new employer would not take him as an employee there, because he was told that the EAD is not transferrable. So, he got the job contracted to his previous company: the new company would pay the old company. The old company reinstated him and he continues to receive his salary.

I think working for a new employer by contracting through old is a good idea. That way, some one does not have to go through RFE, if encountered. Again, this is an interim situation and can very well work out until 180 days or until GC. Becasue GC was in fact for fututre job.
Thanks a lot for this creative idea.

I checked with my friend and confirmed that the new employer would not take him under EAD. He was asked to get permission from INS to change his employers so as conform with the INS Guidelines for changing employers. He told that his employer would take him as an employee only after getting the permission of INS.
His employer told him that they have to proceed only in way described above, so that both the employer and the employee would be on the safe-side of the rules and regulations. Now, my friend is waiting for the completion of 180 days after he submitted his I-485-application to get the permission of the INS to change the employer.
