Well if you have 2 officials working, we are going to have to discuss the play so it is possible for a few moments you will have no one "watching" the players. Is that a terrible thing? Not always IMO and not necessarily if you ask me. Because you need to decide if one came before the other or make sure you both have the same thing and why not.

One watch the players as the other one reports and when the first official is finished, go report the other foul by the other official. Again, so rare in the first place I do not think it is that big of a deal. As I said I have only had it happen once that I can think of (lower level 2 person game) and I have yet to hear of anyone in my area that it happened to them. I think the players and coaches would be so confused that they would be more worried about what you called then doing anything stupid. But no matter what you do players will be confused on some level.
