  4) A times the first call back, and now knows (AB + BA), when he gets
     the second call back, he now knows BA as well (and therefore AB).

I don't see how A will know BA from the second call... Call d the time
difference between when b makes the first call and the second call. A
receives the second call at time T + AB + BA + d. A knows AB + BA, T,
and d. But A would have to know AB or BA independently to separate the
two.
