I don't see any scenario where we would delete a causes link unless it's added by mistake or some analysis later shows that the indicated bug isn't the cause. As always one must use common sense and do what's best in any edge case situation. To me it's clear that A causes B and D and I think it's preferred to keep the text short and readable over trying to explain every edge case out there.
