The dynamic_cast operator shall not cast away constness (5.2.11).

You aren't casting *away* const-ness, you are adding const-ness (and then
discarding it when you assign to A - which should be an error).
I agree about the error part—Andrey, could you please file a bug?
Done, PR57599. C++ quirks make me be never sure whether something is
actually a bug, so I wanted to double check..
