In a word Yes
Well I am just pointing out that the A has the problem, so it would seem probable that the B also has the problem.
What I do not know is if the all singing all dancing software reminds the pilot that they have to do these manoeuvres or if the mission planning software takes the known restrictions into consideration, might get expensive if it does not.
Mission planning could get very interesting, if the routes to certain targets only have certain ways for an F35 to get there due to this problem, brings back F117 memories...
