I suspect the end result would depend on the mood the controller was in.
Vast majority of the time I think nothing would happen. What would
get you
in trouble fast is if they had to divert some other flight to avoid a
conflict. Then
they would probably come after the offender to CYA.
I once landed at a controlled field not knowing they had built a
tower since the
last sectional. They asked me to come to the tower and we discussed
what had
happened and that was the end of it. Of course, that was WAY before 911.

Let's say, hypothetically, someone departing an airport under a class
B ring inadvertently climbed a bit too high - say 200 feet too high,
squawking VFR. In this person's ignorance he calls departure to get
flight following, and while departure gets the code he realizes where
he is and dives back down. When the code is assigned and set in the
transponder, he is back where he belongs. Departure seems OK, and he
happily flies home.
Does anyone know what happens someone accidentally enters class B for
a minute or two then immediately corrects? This hypothetical situation
occurred right near the edge of class B and only 200 feet into it for
about one minute, perhaps two.
Just wondering...
