What do you mean "B is restarted"? B cannot be restarted in your case
because B is not yet started at this point. 

Sounds like this is this commit:

commit c6497ccb7153af9a1252c48918e380b5134314de

    core: when propagating restart requests due to deps, downgrade restart to try-restart
    
    Previously, if a service A depended on a service B via Requires=, and A
    was not running and B restarted this would trigger a start of A as well,
    since the restart was propagated as restart independently of the state
    of A.
    
    This patch ensures that a restart of B would be propagated as a
    try-restart to A, thus not changing its state if it isn't up.

Does reverting it change anything?
