I don't really understand the questions, but:
Packets are always sent "hop by hop". And for the above example, the
packets will go from A over B to C (and vice versa) if there is no
(better) route between A and C.
If the 3 nodes are in the same room (for whatever reason), the simplest
solution to disable connections with FreiFunkFirmware is to add
appropriate iptables rules.

More a question to the rest of wor^Wmailinglist: Is it be necessary or
useful to be able to simply ignore certain IP addresses for certain
aspects (and which?) via a config option?

Well, it's the primary - if not only - job of a routing daemon to set
routes so that packets reach the destination.
So "you" are not supposed to be able to change the route[0].
