My take on this is that B6 could substitute for any player on the court until the ball becomes live again.
Try comparing this. What if B6 reported to the table and announced his substitution for B2. The scorer checks and B6 is not in the book. We all know that even though B6 has announced his intentions to the scorer, unless he enters the game there is no administrative penalty (Technical Foul). The coach walks over to hear that B6 is not in the book, and to avoid the T, changes his mind and puts B6 back on the bench. This case demonstrates to me that we are not bound to follow the initial intent of B6 when he reported to the scorer.
I'd apply the same logic here. Allow B6 to substitute for whoever manages to stay off the court when we're ready to go again.
