Isn't this exactly what "boxing out" on rebounding is? You have your arms up and you move your body to stay between your opponent and the ball. As long as A1 (the screener) does not extend an arm or leg to impede the defender from going around, there's no call to made here.
On rebounding, there is no longer offense and defense. Different rules apply (4-36 vs. 4-39).

In the rebounding rule, the rebounder is not required to be stationary, just be the first to the spot.

In the screening rule, the screener is reqire to be stationary in all but one narrow case.
