This is something that they really need to look at. B should be able to decline the penalty and take the ball at the PS since we had an incomplete pass on 4th down. That is a rule technicality that screws B over if they are more in need of 6 points than 3 at the very end of the game.
The rules committee could even say it is that is a way of declining the "distance" part of the penalty, which can be done. I realize that is not exactly what is being done, but it would make that an option for B, and thus solving the problem.
