I'd think that the logical answer would be that it's a safety.


Just giving the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the rule, not actually answering the question.

The original impetus is not changed when a loose ball is batted or kicked in the end zone (8-7-2-b-1). Therefore, the original impetus is still the kick that put the ball in the end zone (8-7-2-a). The result of the play is a touchback. The act of batting the loose ball (in any direction) in the end zone is illegal (9-4-1-c).

If the penalty is accepted, it will be enforced 10-yards from the previous spot and A will re-kick at B-40.
If the penalty is not accepted, B will put the ball in play at the 25-yard line.

At least that's what I've got...
