That is my understanding for AoA as well, but I think Move and Attack is treated differently (see Martial Arts pg 107). If B uses a Move and Attack, the defense penalties do not kick in until after player B attacks (and then the penalty depends in part on what "appendage" is used to make the attack). If a Waiting foe (player A) attacks before B, then B defends normally.
To wit, from p. MA107 "If someone uses a Wait to interrupts your [Wait and Attack] maneuver before [you make your attack roll], you may defend normally...".

I stand corrected. Thank you, polydac.
