Bean (API) must be enabled for Bean Admin UI to uninstall

Workflow:

drush pm-disable bean_ui bean

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bean_min_version() in /sites/all/modules/bean/bean_admin_ui/bean_admin_ui.install on line 22

(same thing happens when using Drupal module UI)

The "fix":

drush en bean
drush pm-uninstall bean_admin_ui

Unsure if there is any way around this but I figure its worth noting.
