Hey, I just had this idea. To get the required values of P(B|A) you may try to consider the possibility that the “subjective continuation” of a copy (which was made from the original) can jump into another copy (also made from the original, not from the first copy). There seems to be no apriori reason why that shouldn’t happen, if the information states of the copies are equivalent. Why focus on the physical continuity within the copying process anyway? Information is all that matters.
This way you get to keep the illusion that you “are” one specific copy at all times, rather the set of all identical information states at once (my preferred point of view up till now). I wonder if some other thought experiment could break that illusion more conclusively.
