8-3-3 During a try, A may score two points from what would be a touchdown or one point for a field goal or safety by B under rules governing play at other times during the game.
So a safety by A is considered a successful try and thus the penalty can be enforced at the succeeding spot.

I think the key word in this rule is: "FROM WHAT WOULD BE" a touchdown. It is NOT a touchdown, just as a 1 pt try is NOT a field Goal. The book does not give a defination or discussion in the box, just a point summary.

When they say they get two points "from what would be a TD" they are making a comparison and saying that a TD during a try is worth two points. I believe that the option exists for the succeeding spot.
