BANA rules for a single letter before a period are not that
straight forward. For example, "Drop that in box b." requires a
letter sign.

That's the rule for English braille according to BANA.

Hello John!
After some more testing, I found that you are right. However, if
a single letter is followed by a period, then the letsign is not
preceding the character. Can you duplicate that?
The uper case character is defined with uplow opcode in the
Norwegian tables.
