Is it maybe sufficient, if you specify the desired timestamp in the message headers, rather than the actual generation time (I guess you would use ros::Time::now())?

For B, synchronizing with the desired timestamp is easier and avoids using message_filters/approximate_time_policy. There is always an unknown delay for B for message reception due to transmission times an OS scheduling, so generating messages at exact time instants does probably not give you good results either.
