That just seems like every team ever, except for pairs programming I can't imagine having two people in the same part of the codebase at the same time. Is there an alternative you can think of that isn't just poor management, or ambiguous descriptions leading to conflicts?

Also, you can reply even during the cooling-off period by hitting the 'link' link.

Majors bugs that involve both the front and back end developers.

Major feature enhancements in which multiple devs touch the same set of files.

There are probably ways around these issues, just some instances where I've had to sit next to someone and work out a bug/problem.
