We know that isn't the rule. if it was it would be a violation on A1 when B grabbed the ball. Case play says it is a held ball.
I think you are right that even though an inbounds player touched the ball while it was over the plane, the status of it never changes. If A1 holds onto the ball it is like any other throw in that isn't touched by an inbounds player.

My thought is that if you have to stretch a rule so thin in order to make a call, it's probably best not to make the call.
