Face blindness is inconvenient but it sounds like it helps in developing heightened awareness of the emotions displayed on faces. When faces don't come labeled neatly as "Sue's face" or "Ben's face" they are at once all deeply human and mysterious. Faces can't be shrugged off in the visual equivalent of the non-conversation we have dozens of times a week: "How are you?" "I'm fine. And you?" Mystery demands attentiveness. Seeing the face as sad but brave before seeing the face as Ben gives deeper knowledge of Ben. I love this concept of recognizing recognition.
