IMHO your original statement was wrong:

"- B's server does not process unsub since inbound stanza handling
rules mandate that server has to consider privacy list first.  Since
privacy list is blocking all communication, server wont look at the
stanza."

B's server would process the unsub but not deliver anything from A to B. 
However, it would complete a roster push to B.
