I have opened up a bug on this issue for you and CC'ed you to the bug so you'll 
get any updates regarding it (feel free to remove yourself or let me know if 
you'd like me to remove you if you'd rather not receive updates on the bug.) We 
are aware of what is causing the issue and are making plans to fix it for a 
future release.

For reference, the bug URL is: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185118

In the meantime, the workaround for this issue is, in your scenario, to hit the 
"Unselect All" button at the lower right of the errata list for serverB before 
you make any errata selections. This will clear any previous selections from 
serverA.

Thanks for letting us know about the issue!
