How about B1 is now out on strikes. B2 stays in the box and begins her at-bat with a new count.
No books handy for rule references, but I'm thinking a batting out of order application here. If an incorrect batter is discovered during her time at bat, the proper batter is brought to the plate and assumes the count.
B2 was out of order as B1's at bat was not finished. When strike three was called, B2 was discovered. B1 would be brought back and assume a count of x-3, resulting in a strike out.
As always, I'm open for other interpretations....
