Mike --- that's EXACTLY my point. A is a foul tip - because it went straight to the glove first. B is NOT a foul tip - because it DIDN'T go straight to the glove. The glove is not simply a subset of "equipment" when you're talking about a foul tip vs a foul ball.
So back to the definition of foul ball in G - it refers to equipment or body (like example B), and not specifically a glove (like example A). When I said that originally, you said, "isn't the glove part of equipment?" My answer is no - not when you're talking about foul tip vs foul ball - the glove and "equipment" are treated separately.
So Foul Ball definition G does not apply when the ball ricochets off a catcher's glove and is caught by someone else.
