But if it occurs on 4th down, and the result of the penalty would put B in a rightfully advantageous position, it does seem a little unfair.

Bob, Is it REALLY unfair to B? Would they have had an opportunity to have a play and win the game if A hadn't committed such a foul on the last play of the game?
The change is to take away a situation where A can gain an advantage (score , or get another play) by committing a foul. It really doesn't take away an advantage for R. If there is no incentive to commit the foul there probably will be no foul of this type.

Like I said, the only real way A gets an advantage here is if they're doing something to avoid a safety in a tie game or one in which they lead by 1 or 2. But if they're throwing the illegal forwrd pass beyond the LOS, I'm guessing that they're not doing it to avoid a safety.
