Interesting argument but technically, I don't think it is the foul that directly caused the ball the be lost. The foul only specifies that the offense loses a down, so A lost the football because they turned it over on downs, not because they committed a penalty.
I think what the fundamental is saying is that no foul can directly award possesion of the football to the other team but I could be wrong.
