I take that back, I'm just an idiot, although that hasn't stopped me yet.

When it checks for blocks, the order is: User, IP, Range, Auto.

Since the IP is softblock, it's an IP anon-only block.  User A, is a user block
with a autoblock on the IP.

So when User B comes along with the same IP as the softblock/User A, it skips
User since User B isn't blocked, it gets to IP, sees the IP is blocked, also
notices that its set to anon-only so it goes "Oops, doesn't apply, lets bail"
so the autoblock never gets checked.

On a side note, if User A has never edited, there will be no autoblocked IP
since autoblocks use most recent contrib, if they've never edited it wont have
an IP to add to ipblocks. So the autoblock wont trigger period.

This also may prove to be completely wrong as well :)
