This topic has gotten a "little" silly.
Ed, the end of the run is the goal line, not the end zone, and I surely would not give the option of a safety.
I'm not going give A any option in this case. There's no enforcement spot.
Surely, this was an oversight to the Rules committee, and I'm not looking at it any differently than if K kicked off from R's 20 (after a series of dead ball penalties on R) and the ball rolled out of bounds untouched by R at R's 3. The 25 yards from previous free kick line is not an enforceable spot, so I won't offer it as an option to R.
