Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 how about using:

 {{{
 if ( is_front_page() && !is_home() && $template =
 get_front_page_template() ) {
 } else if ( is_home() && $template = get_home_template() ) {
 }
 }}}

 and then, in get_home_template(), we add a check: if is_front_page() and
 try front-page.php.

 the case to avoid is, if it's a static front page, we want to behave like
 a page, but if it's a blog front page, we'd also want to catch front-
 page.php.
