Do you have the "comic book". I'm darn sure there is a dead ball enforcement against Team-A in which they show the chains being set AFTER the enforcement.
There is a lot of good pics in that much maligned manual.

See page 46 of this seasons NF comnic book pic 5-3-1 and apply that to you play.
Also find in your rule book, football fundamental IX.2. While your in the area, check out 10-2-4.
Can't get any clearer then that.

Yep. First and ten. Comic book reinforces what you said about 1st and ten.
The only way to get 1st and 25 is after the ready for play an A player commits an unsportsmanlike or a personal foul before the snap.
BTW. The reason I would set the chains twice comes with experience. My first season as a white hat I had a play like the one described. I had the first walk off. Then the second walk off returned to the same spot. Then I set the chains. It was assumed I was confused when the mechanic was by the book. Of course, the average coach and the fans of the little burg we were working had no idea. You learn by experience.
