That's a situation where the ball would never have gone into A's endzone as the ball was rolling forward, but the ball is muffed by the defense into B's endzone...the result will be a safety still (in the NFL).

And the result by interpretation is the same at the other levels.
But the reality I cannot imagine many times where a ball is just sitting there and no one is going after it to the point this call will be made.
