My argument is that beckoning a substitute in after a timeout is granted is improper.
There's a procedure for substitutes to report and enter a game during a timeout -- beckoning them is not part of the process.
It's different if I beckon in a sub and the sub enters the court and THEN a team requests and is granted a timeout. The OP doesn't make any such distinction, so I've operated under the assumption that A requested a timeout, the official granted it, and the sub was still sitting at the X.
