Since there is not a specific case play, but it is clearly a false multiple foul, the only way to enforce both by rule is to shoot the shooting foul first.
Yeah, I understand that argument, but I'm not convinced that it is correct. There are many times in which the penalty for the first foul is superceded by that of a second foul.
For example, A1 is fouled by B1 prior to the bonus. Immediately following the foul, B1 shoves nearby A2 and is called for a technical foul.
The throw-in for B1's common foul simply goes away.

Therefore, as much as we may wish to punish both fouls by also awarding possession, I have serious doubts that this is the correct procedure.

Although the OP did state that the double bonus was in effect, I think that addressing the nonbonus situation is more thought provoking, and that is why I mentioned it.
