The solution to this particular problem is to have separate ballots.
A and B are independent, after all.
In general, though, I have to admit that I don't understand what the problem
is. A.6.3 ranks your choice against the defaukt option, not against anything
else. Thus, voting CDAB instead of CABD doesn't affect the chances of C
winning, it only changes the chances of A or B winning if C isn't accepted by
the (super)majority.
