The DPC says that at least one candidate should be elected from each 
coalition preferred by more than 16 + 2/3 of the voters. Since the first 
place votes are disjoint, that in effect means

Elect B.
Elect C.
Elect D.
Elect E.
Elect F.

So the DPC would exclude A, yes. The Droop proportionality criterion 
considers it more important, in this case, to give each 
greater-than-Droop block of voters "what they're due" than to give them 
a compromise.
