c would win without any supermajority rule, so there's no need to remove
option A in the first place, so there's no problem.

IMHO, option A should only be removed if it would win, but doesn't satisfy
its supermajority requirement.

Note that _any_ Condorcet conflict resolution algorithm has a "problem"
with added or removed options. That's not avoidable, so the fact that it
happens in some situations is a null argument -- it also happens in some
cases where you use superdefeat rules.
