Known/expected because "A.a" does not denote a target but a path, i.e. CMake links "bar" against the library file "A.a" but can't figure out any dependencies of the latter. With "target_link_libraries(foo A)", you link "foo" against a target "A", so CMake's dependency tracking applies and "B" is pulled in, too.
