So it's kind of like a traditional error-correcting code, just sent along a separate channel?

Sort of. The only issue with that interpretation is that either piece of data in isolation conveys none of the original information, even probabilistically. A better analogy would be sending two classical bits by different channels, with the desired bit being the XOR of the two, and one of the bits being chosen by a random number generator.
