OK, we have a 15-yard face mask against B on a TD scoring play. A is going to kick for the try, enforcing the 15 yard face mask on the kickoff.
What's to stop B from taking a free shot at the center, kicker, or holder or committing any other live ball penalty?

Actually this is not what the NF has put out so far. Now your state might take a different stance or interpretation but they do not get to carry over several fouls to a kickoff. The rule might change next year, but once there is the scoring team accepts an option, they cannot take two options to the kick off. So what BJ says applies across the board and in the rulebook at this point.
So B gets a free shot. Not sure I like that, but that is the way it is right now.
