Shouldn't it be PRIVATE for B?
E.g.  target_compile_options(B PRIVATE -Werror)

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#build-specification-and-usage-requirements

"
Each of the commands has a PRIVATE, PUBLIC and INTERFACE mode. The
PRIVATE mode populates only the non-INTERFACE_ variant of the target
property and the INTERFACE mode populates only the INTERFACE_
variants. The PUBLIC mode populates both variants of the respective
target property.
