Can't believe that this happened

Assuming the officials erroneously gave A 1 FT and then let B score, they got the CE situation right. Of course, if they had happened to recognize the error during the FT, then it would have made sense to kill it on the miss.

A was unfortunate about the officials' error, but they did end up with possession at the end of it all.

Nah, it's more like saying, "recognize it sooner." But you're right, in practice, it's just not going to happen.
