There should have been a bean bag dropped at the B 4 (end of the run). Since the IW caused the ball to become dead, the player who recovered the ball in the EZ recovered a dead ball, therfore, no TD. In the play you have described, A has the option to replay the down from the previous spot or take the ball at B's 4 (the spot they last had possession prior to the IW). Sounds like the officials did not give A that option because that was the "no brainer" choice for them. Rule 4-2-3b.
Also, if time for the period had expired during the IW play, A would aslo get an untimed down. Rule 3-3c.
