I may have misunderstood your comment above, "In A, I've seen people flag this too, and then not blow it dead. Just trying to clarify.", to suggest the play should be blown dead, where as rereading it might also suggest the flag being thrown immediately is premature.

Yes... the flag is inappropriate on this play.

If for some reason you DO throw a flag during pre-snap motion, you better be throwing it for a false start and killing it. You can't (correctly) have a flag and not kill it.
