The two situations may look different, but they are the same as far as the rules go. In both cases, team control is continued by A and FC is established (or continued) by the location of the last player to touch the ball. The rules do not differentiate whether player control was established in the FC, only team control. IOW, by rule, if one is not a BC violation (and the case book play says it's not), then the other cannot be; barring a case-book play saying differently.
If memory serves, the BC rule says nothing about "causing" the ball to go into the backcourt; but only about being the last to touch it in the FC after team control has been established.
