That's not true. Once he is no longer attempting to block and is on the same yard line or beyond the defender, he cannot be contacted. While it's not DPI, it is illegal use of hands.

Think that is the confusion. DPI restrictions for B begin when the pass is thrown. However, contact restrictions begin for B when A is no longer an eligible blocker and that occurs once A is past the expanded neutral zone. The violation is illegal use of hands.
