If your units of work are so badly partitioned that this is a requirement, remote or local is not really the problem.

Since these things are often necessary, you need to be able to have that happen in a remote environment.
I agree with you though on one important thing - issues of interruption have little to do with remote/local. I try to interrupt people as little as possible either way, but I don't want remote working to sacrifice on real time communication when necessary.
