Yes.

It is impossible to tell unless you define Country-A.

Bottom line - when multiple citizenships are involved in a situation when dual citizenship is not possible, it is always the safest bet to go somewhere else and take the flight. For example - I always tell my friend flying from Hong Kong instead of Guangzhou because of the exact same issue.
