"And the default for A should be off and the default for B should be on?"
I would say yes, at least for the time being.
Maybe an easier overview of these settings for the user is needed. 
[A] - always allow
[B] - restricted access
[C] - no access
They obviously will need better wording and some explanation to users what they set. :) 
The default would be [A]. And anything else can be set by the user. I feel that currently it is rather confusing.

Bug description:
  A recent change in the interest of security removed access to the
  indicators when the phone is locked and the greeter is showing.

  This was an accentual change based on a misunderstanding

  There had been a plan to support media playback control via the sound
  indicator. Without this the user must unlock the phone in order to
  simply pause the music or change songs, etc.

  ----------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - Revert the change that caused this issue

  - Add a switch to System Settings to enable security conscious user to
  switch off Launcher and Greeter access while the phone is locked.
  This setting should *always* be off by default.
