The OP and the example you cited (with its reason), have a huge difference: the ball "rolls to the opposite end of the court" which prevents B with "the opportunity to quickly put the ball in play".
That difference is key, and imho, changes the ruling to not granting the timeout. You see, in the OP, the table simply screwed up. In your example, the delay was due to, even if by accident, the players.
