I think you don't understand the problem yet.
There is no WC inconsistency at any time.
And all revisions in the repository compile fine.
User B did nothing wrong, but got an error,
thereore it is no workflow problem.

Note:
User B is doing nothing dangerous.
User B always only makes update for the complete project,
and compiles the complete project.
But neverthanless user B suddenly gets this error
because of a structural change of A.

Typically, when you CREATE fancy_module/subdir,
you anyway would set svn:ignore to *.obj
for fancy_module/subdir anyway.
But now, instead you would set svn:temporary to *.obj,
and the problem is solved in a natural way.
