The confusing part in this enforcement is the replay of the down because A did not make the line to gain after the penalty was administered. In essence, what was 2nd and 7 is not 2nd and 2.
Take the same situation, 2nd and 7 from A's 25. The line to gain is A's 32 yard line. A2 runs to midfield. A3 is flagged for a block in the back at A's 45. The 10-yard penalty would move the ball back to A's 35. The result would be a first down for A from their 35.
Nobody would view this as Team A gaining yardage because of a foul.
