OK. Now I'm really confused. Since the acceptance of the penalty negated the change of possession, do we say we have a completed pass (thus, starting the clock on the RFP), or an incomplete pass (thus, starting the clock on the snap)?

We have an interception. Please give me a one word answer to this question: Do you stop the clock after an interception?

You are getting to hung up on the phrase, "The action that causes the down to end did not also stop the clock".
After a change of possession, we simply have an officials timeout. The clock starts on the ready after an official's timeout UNLESS something else happened to stop the clock. Runner out of bounds, incomplete pass, ball out bounds, etc.
An officials' timeout is NEVER reason enough to start on the snap UNLESS B is awarded a new series or EITHER team is awarded a new series following a legal kick play.
