Murali,

Section 5.3 of <draft-ietf-mpls-diff-ext-09>  indicates the expected behavior in the situation described in your mail:

"If a DIFFSERV object is not present in the Path message, the LSR
   SHOULD interpret this as a request for an E-LSP using the
   Preconfigured EXP<-->PHB Mapping. However, for backward
   compatibility purposes with other non-Diff-Serv Quality of Service
   options allowed by [RSVP_MPLS_TE] such as Integrated Services
   Controlled Load or Guaranteed Services, the LSR MAY support a
   configurable "override option". When this "override option" is
   configured, the LSR interprets a path message without a Diff-Serv
   object as a request for an LSP with such non-Diff-Serv Quality of
   Service."



     Francis.

Murali,
This is a good and valid question. IMHO the answer is like following:
1. Router B operates in accordance with preconfigured EXP-->PHB mappings
2. Preconfigured mappings in any DiffServ-aware LSR MUST include
    mapping of  000 (EXP) --> Default Forwarding PHB. May be this should
    be explicitly added to the draft
3. Router A (which is not Diff-Serv-aware) MUST set EXP bits to 000.
This would result in consistent LSP behavior.
