No.  In the User A case messages from the list will have a Reply-To with
the list address and replies (ignoring the pathological recent
Thunderbird) will go to the list as you say, but in the User B case,
messages from the list will have a Reply-To with both User B's address
and the list address and replies will go to both User B and the list.

Of course, not all MUA's behave exactly the same with reply in cases
where there are multiple addresses in Reply-To: but reasonable ones at
least will address the reply to all the Reply-To: addresses.
