The only time it would bother me is if the trip was planned and budgeted based upon people sharing rooms. If one person decided (after the planning) that they wanted their own room, that would leave someone else without a roommate. Even if the person who wanted their own room was willing to pay, I doubt they'd be willing to pay for the now-without-a-roommate person's single room too. I don't think that's really fair.
However, that doesn't sound like what happened in the OP's case. The OP was up-front about getting her own room (if she went at all) from the beginning, and the accidentally-assigned roommate was able to find another roommate easily, so it doesn't sound like it will affect her plans/cost at all. In this case, unless we're missing something, I have no idea why "B" is bent out of shape.
I have shared rooms on trips before too... but as I get older, I aslo prefer my own room (or my own hotel room versus staying with a friend's family, etc.)
