Yes I would flag A for a false start if B jumped. A's action obviously simulated the start of the play in this case and they get the penalty. Now I know where you're going with this - if B doesn't jump the action is the same so why treat it differently? Answer - No. 1, If they don't jump then no harm, no foul. No. 2, even though A can reset, they messed up by jumping so they get the penalty if one has to be called.
