Excellent idea. You could even configure a script to put corresponding page numbers in the plain text document so that when you found the text in the text copy, you could more easily locate the text in the FrameMaker document.

This is not as cumbersome as it sounds, since you can install an Extendscript which saves the plain text copy automatically whenever you choose File > Save. I've set up something similiar to have a readable copy for Git version management. If you're interested, I can post the Extendscript on the mailing list.
