No. It is the "A" server, that adds a roster entry for "b" with
subscription "to". It should reject the "subscribed" stanza. "a" client
just gets the notification, that subscription has been granted and an
roster item added.

No I know, that the bug in ejabberd was introduced for compatibility
with broken transports, like JID. That means, that this "feature" is
a bug-compatibility with jabberd 1.4.x. :-(

"b" does not get subscription to "a"'s presence automatically. Only "a"
can see "b" after that.
