Pagination on front-page.php is broken, but works fine on "store" page template

[amdrew]

I'm testing the EDD Starter Theme with 9 test products. If I try and go to the 2nd page (/page/2/) on the homepage which uses front-page.php, I get a "Page not found". However if I setup a page called "products" and use the "store" page template, the pagination works as intended (products/page/2/) and there's no page not found.

Any ideas why the pagination on front-page.php wouldn't work properly? The code between the 2 pages (front-page.php and template-store.php) appears to be exactly the same.

Interestingly enough, if I create a page called "home", use the "store" page template, then set the page to be my home page under reading -> Front page displays, it works great also.

It only fails if using front-page.php without an actual page created and set as show on front, correct?
