The ball, loose and live in the end-zone must be put out of the end-zone by B. If B falls on a loose ball in the end-zone, the play is over. Why would you award a point to a team that fumbled the ball? The bat by B (new force) through the end-line forced the ball out of play and didn't allow A an opportunity to recover.

In my example, A fumbled the ball before crossing into the end-zone. B then provides a new force that causes the ball to be in the end-zone. If the ball subsequently becomes dead in the end-zone either by B possessing it or either team muffing it out of the end-zone, A is awarded a safety. Because it is a try, A gets only one point instead of two.
