The B protocol code I use (not on my Amiga) is adapted from a procedure I got from a Borland DL. It has worked flawlessly on both directions so I believe as you do that CIS and B protocol aren't to blame. However, besides converting Turbo Pascal to UCSD I made a lot of mods to the error recovery code which I found to be very lax. Whoever wrote that procedure didn't stop to look at his code when he finished to think through what would happen in various error situations. Sounds like maybe the Amiga implementors stopped too soon as well. I could upload the code if anyone is interested. It's a UCSD Pascal procedure to be called by a terminal program whenvever an enq is received (05). It handles a complete B protocol transfer and then returns to the caller.
