Of course A- is a sanction. The expected value of a board is 50%, so if you get 40%, that is a sanction. I agree wholeheartedly with those here ho argue that the two pairs are not treated equally, and saying that they get the same penalty is just covering up tactics. I would, in this case, either give 50% to the second pair and a penalty to both sides, or give a penalty only to one pair so as not to have to explain to the totally innocent third pair why their opponents get 50% hen clearly at fault.
