That one has been around for a while. It's featured in the first displayed subpattern in the

By 'small', they actually mean 'more common than a fishhook'.

By pure chance, if you keep running it, the extra block becomes transparent when the output B hits the block. (The transparent block reaction is known). It's a shame the input is right next to the output.
