Dave, I would have said the same thing about lowering the reps as recently as a couple weeks ago. But recently JB had me do 10 rep front squats after back squatting and I gotta tell you I was sceptical to say the least, but it does hit your quads even with lightish weights, helps hone in squat form, and I think his idea is doing the combo on back day is to fatigue his back with the fronties as well as hit some leg work. It's good conditioning too.
I say give it a whirl and see what happens. If it doesn't work drop them like a bad habit!
