I beleive this overlooks the overlapping/continuous nature of gurps Turns. A's Turn 1 does not end after he carries out the Move action he announced. It only "ends" just before his Turn 2 "begns".
So he was both Moving and Dodging while he had 0 HP and should roll. It might seem clearer if it specified that rolls took place at the _end_ of your Turn rather than the beginning of the next but there is no fuctional differenxce.
As a House rule for greater simplicity, clarity and realism too I plan to do away with the Do Nothing excepton. It doesn't make any sense that you can stave off unconsciousness by lying there quietly.
