The desired behavior is that when I go back to using phone A, Signal picks up where it left off. The safety number will change, but message history on that device is preserved. However, that is not what reading the docs suggests will happen.

Try backing up phone A's Signal database then restore when you return from phone B. I think Desktop will then reload all the messages which takes a while, or backup and restore that too, haven't tried that on Desktop though.

Unless you need the specific number, I add an extra digit to the Signal number in phone B, C, D ... and rely on overdial which NZL networks seem to support for 1 extra digit. ...

Fun fact, back until around a year ago Signal for Android's backup function was completely broken, iirc. Honestly I'm not sure if the iOS version even supports backup.

It doesn't and itunes/icloud backups will not include Signal messages just as they do not include Apple Wallet information.
