Well let's see. If, on this same play the ball had gone out of the endzone (impetus by A) causing what would be a touchback, then I believe the defense could have scored a safety on itself because this would then be a spot foul. Agree?

No - did B have possession at the moment of the foul? No... so it's a LBP - enforced at the end of the run. Your sitch is essentially the same as the OP.
Give B possession in the EZ, and a fumble while trying to run it out, and THEN the illegal bat in the EZ, and you have a safety.
