BITS,
Doesn't A's dribble end when he attempts a pass, and if so it should not matter whether his second foot is in the front court. In other works as soon as A attempts the pass, and ends his dribble, if he picks up his backcourt foot, with his pivot in the front court, he then establishes front court status.
Is that clear as mud?

I think it's pretty clear, but it points to a very difficult to read moment.
The 3-points (2 feet and the ball on the dribble) rule can be applied nicely if all we're concerned with is the dribbler possibly violating - solo. Did he or she make it into the front court yet? Then bounce the ball on the line? Violation.
You are pointing out - if I understand you correctly - that a dribbler might, for example, end a dribble by picking the ball up while on his/her front foot which happens to be in the frontcourt. In that case, the 3-points rule no longer applies, the player is in the frontcourt, and passing the ball to a teammate with backcourt location would be a violation.
