I fail to see how this is illegal, even if the brackets are not there:

A program that jumps from a point where a local variable with
automatic storage duration is not in scope to a point where it is in
scope is ill-formed __unless__ the variable has POD-type and is
declared without an initializer. (6.7/3, emphasis mine)

If A turned out to be non-POD it would be illegal and the compiler
error would be correct.
