Could you use wifi? They will both be given addresses via dhcp and will be able to see each other. Finding the other guy is a problem, but you're going to have that in any situation.
I think usb tether uses unroutable addresses and considers the two links as separate networks. wifi treats them as on the same network. Most users also appreciate the convenience of wireless when using phones also.. don't tie them down!
