This seems like a great advising model.
Students usually end up with an adviser-change with each major-change. Depending on the number of changes a student goes through, that could lead to seriously inconsistent and, at times, non-existent advising. With the system you've described, students receive consistent counseling with smooth transitions between the two advisers.
