It sounds like, beginning this year, the second pass is illegal and 8-5-2c applies. Prior to this year, the second pass was legal and 8-5-2c would not have applied. Because 8-5-2c is now applied in this situation, B has no choice but to take the 2 point safety, get the ball back, and hope for a long drive. If they are behind by 3 or more points, they are, indeed, screwed by the new rule.
