When I muttered pretty much the same thing to a Leica representative at a 
show, he said that "B" turns off the regular light meter but leaves the 
flash-metering circuitry live, and "OFF" turns it all off.

I don't know if this is actually precisely true.  I merely report what he said.

There's nothing on the subject in the owner's manual?
