No player is allowed in the area until the ball breaks the plane. This includes a bounce pass that hits the line.
It only pertains to the side/end line that you are inbounding the ball in. It gets tricky because if A steps in, it is simply a violation. If B steps in, it is a warning first and a technical (to the violating player) from then on out.
Question - If A accidentally bumps B into the restrained area, what do you have? A foul on A? A Tech on B? A violation on A? I think I would say, "it depends." Or refer to the 'spirit of the rule' and have a violation on A. Any thoughts?
