Momentum play.

If that is true, though, then by the same reasoning if B had done the illegal batting instead of A, then you're saying that the result of the play would not be a safety--and that A's only options would be to have the penalty enforced form the 3 or to decline it and give B 1/10 @ B3?

That's what I'm saying. Of course if the penalty against B was in the endzone, it would be a saftey because the foul was behind the basic spot and 8-5-2 F (d) does define the 3 yard line as the basic spot in this momentum exception play.
