There isn't a corresponding RelatedJoin definition in class A - since
RelatedJoin is intended to express a Many-to-Many relationship, and
this class structure is one-to-many (B can point to many A's, but A is
unable to point to any B's), that sqlobject doesn't figure out what
you expect it to do here is not that surprising.

It may be worthwhile trying to improve the checks on RelatedJoin to
warn about this case.
