sm_bbcoach - I was with you until I looked in my rules book. At the top of rule 8 there is a table listing the points values for different scoring plays. It lists a successful try as being a touchdown for 2 points or either a field goal or a safety for 1 point.

8-3-3 During a try, A may score two points from what would be a touchdown or one point for a field goal or safety by B under rules governing play at other times during the game.

So a safety by A is considered a successful try and thus the penalty can be enforced at the succeeding spot.
