Why should this "incidental contact" be penalized as a foul? Seems to me the rebounder had plenty of time to find her balance and stay in bounds, or pass the ball to someone in better position. Even if she didn't, I'd find it hard to call this a foul. More like she just happened to be in a bad place to get the rebound and stepped out of bounds. But I didn't actually see it, of course.

Calling this a foul gives undue advantage to the rebounding team. (But I'll save advantage/disadvantage for another thread) Maybe had B1 not been so close to the end line, Team A may have gotten the ball back.
