Please review the rule on how a ball can become live and provide a rule citation how the dead ball on the miss suddenly became live so B1 could score.
The only way would be if the officials erroneously indicated only 1 free throw when there should have been two, and there is absolutely nothing in the OP to support this.

Play didn't continue? B got the rebound, clock started…B dribbled to the other end and scored. You also say "the situation was recognized immediately before the ball would have become live at the disposal of A." If the ball was dead and remained dead after the first FT, even though the players continued on, clock started..How would the ball become live when at the disposal of A? Under your thinking B shot a dead ball into the basket…why would it become live when at A's disposal?
When the play involves failure to award a merited Ft and the officials allow play to continue, clock to run…they are treating the ball as live. B dribbling down to the other end is a live ball..clock started. When B makes the basket…that is the first dead ball after the clock started. When the ball is at As disposal it is live again... too late to correct the error.
If everything goes according to plan the ball is dead after the first FT but when there is a screwup and they don't treat the ball as dead the rules change. The language the official chooses, one shot or two, doesn't affect the situation. If the player is supposed to get two and doesn't…play goes on…that is the error and the ball is treated as live.
