FWIW I often get credit for the second PAG even after letting the front desk know I understand I should not.
The property would still be on the hook to issue nights and points for the second night (to guest A). The only thing missing would the be PAG that would due guest B, presuming the nights and points would go to guest B instead (I'm guessing it's the cost of the PAG and not the effort needed to process two separate stays that is the issue).
Yes, some properties are very generous, especially when you are very polite and not a DYKWIA type guest.
