Technically, player B going all in himself is putting player A all in.
This is a grey area. However I believe if no one other player says anything, than it's too bad. The money stays in the pot. If player B only intended to put in 30, he would have put in 30. If no one comments and points out the error, than it stands.
It's the same thing as a string bet. Everyone knows it's not legal. However, if someone does it, and no one points it out...it should stand. It's the responsibility of the players involved in the game, and especially involved in the hand to point it out. If it's a friendly home game, and some people don't understand the rules as well as others, than others playing should point it out first.
Once the money is in the pot and no one says points out error, it's too late. Eg. Go play blackjack at the casino. If the dealer miscounts and takes your money when it's a push....but already collected the cards and you never say anything. Try to get your money back. I bet you there's no way you're gonna get a penny back after the fact.
