It's not as hard as you think; not all picks are set with the screener facing the screened player. Also, even when they are, sometimes the screener sticks his/her elbows up. It's not common, but it's possible.
one other possibility:
A1 sets a screen on B1, and sticks his elbows out to the side in the process to make himself wider.
After his elbows are up and in place, B2 comes around from behind and runs smack into A1's elbow with his nose. A1's elbow was stationary, but illegal.
