How is his ownership revoked? It's not clear if this is automatic (through 
a scrip) or if he does this manually before changing the queue.

If it's the latter, try creating a scrip on QB which looks for tickets 
having their queue changed from QA and sets owner to nobody.

Also, it's important to know that the ticket is not being created in QB 
here - it's being modified. So create permissions on QB don't apply.

Let us know how it works out...
