My thought was "legal run", and I believe I'm correct. 6-2-3 - "Any kicker may catch or recover a scrimmage kick while it is in or behiind the neutral zone and advance, unless it is during a try."

Basic spot is the goal line (end of the run). Penalize 10 yards, repeat the down from the B10 yard line. 10-4-4 - "The basic spot is the spot where the related run ends for a foul which occurs during a running play..."

If R wants to keep the ball, they decline K's facemask penalty - R 1st and ten from 10 yards back from the basic spot (either the end of the run-back, or spot of the foul, whichever is further back for R).
If R wants a shot at better field position, R accepts K's penalty = offsetting double foul. Re-kick from the previous spot. 6-1-7-b, 10-2-c.
This is no different than from both teams fouling after an interception. If the team that ends up with the ball wants to keep it, they have their penalty enforced and decline the other team's.

R corrects the situation and informs both head coaches of the situation.

There was no previous play. R goes through the normal enforcement procedure of preliminary encroachment signal (this would further help explain what is going on), explaining to B captain the penalty, having the U and HL step it off and spot the ball from the previous spot (the chains shouldn't have moved), then signaling (and probably saying loudly, "Prior to the snap..." dead ball, encroachment, etc. R should also instruct the veteran wing to explain what happened to the head coach on their side, and the R should go explain the situation to the rookie wing's head coach if they deem it necessary. R works with BJ (and rest of crew) to put the correct time back on the clock. The "I/he/she couldn't find the whistle" explanation might work there, I think.
I don't think the R would physically wave off the flags, because there was still an accepted penalty.
What do you think, R's?
