If player B breaks the huddle with everyone else, I'm not flagging this unless we have coaches or players adding to the deception with "Hurry up, get off the field," or similar comments.

My reason - if he's really a 12th player and he breaks with the huddle, the flag goes right then. This rule is why the defense can and should assume that anyone breaking with the huddle is part of the next play.

However, if this guy leaves before the huddle breaks, and then acts as though he's leaving, and then doesn't leave, we have a flag. To me, this is what the deception rule was intended to prevent.
