Perhaps I missed something, but if domain B is rejecting email from the

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?
