My thinking, which is not always correct, is a new force has been added to the ball. On a try does this effect anything?

Yes, as you probably know, if B adds a new force that causes the ball to go into the EZ where it subsequently becomes dead, it's a safety. That's no different for a try.

For a try, a safety scores 1 point, see 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."
