if they are smart enough to look into why the message bounced.

That's exactly the issue, and not a theoretical one.

However, domain B is not an innocent bystander, as they intentionally 
configured their mail system to reject mail it shouldn't, and the recipients 
at domain B support that decision, on some level.

Wait a minute. There's nothing wrong with discarding something set to 
discardable (cf, "shouldn't").
Or are you saying that it shouldn't produce a bounce/5xx and just silently 
discard it?
