It's perfect - I'd say that it's exactly right.

git-describe is for making unique - human readable names for points in 
history, not for describing the tree.  It makes no difference that A and B 
have the same tree, they are different points.

I've always thought of git-describe as being a way of mapping a commit hash to 
a nicer looking name.  If A and B are different commits then they should have 
different names.
