Action out of turn MAY be binding.
One of tow things is true, player B was shooting and angle or he thought player A was done betting and he was in turn.

Just to clarify things, it was very clear to all that Player B knew that Player A had not yet completed his bet. He stated as much when the floor came to the table.

Well in that case I agree that Player B deserves the least favorable interpretation of the rule. Again, I don't know what the house rule is on what constitutes a legal bet and what constitutes a string bet, but the fact that Player B knew A wasn't done betting may mean the floor allows A to bet as much as he wants (as much as all in and as little as the $50 already on the felt) and make B call that amount.
In any event, there is no way Player A gets out of having bet the $50. He tabled it before anything out of the ordinary happened. Since Player B has (as far as we know in this thread) not shot this particular angle before, we cannot kill his hand solely on the basis of an angle shot. Player B does get a warning that next time his hand is dead and his stack may be forefeited at the Floor's discretion.
