New try, thanks to the great replies from Lars and David:

count(
   ancestor-or-self::A[ .>>  current()/ancestor::node()[self::B or
self::document-node()][1] ]
      )

Am I getting closer with this...?

I'm not sure but I think you want to count the number of A ancestors stopping at the first B ancestor if there is one, so i think I'd write that as

ancestor-or-self::A except ancestor::B/ancestor::A
