In othe words, someone else would gladly take over Player A's position (he holds the ace-queen suited) from that point on if he didn't have to put in the original $40, and that was the point of my answer.

No. Money already in the pot belongs to the pot. The analysis is no different whether Player A is facing the raise, or whether player A goes to the bathroom and someone sits in for him.

The reason AQs folds is because of the range of hands it is facing, not JJ. If everyone knew it was JJ, even the original player A would call (getting 205:110 from the pot).
