It seems like invokeMethod() uses Qt::AutoConnection by default...
doesn't this mean that I'd be okay (I don't have any return args --
the desired behaviour would be that invokeMethod() post an event in
ObjectA's event loop)?

All ObjectAs are 'eternal'. They're actually QtPlugins that are alive
for the life of the application.
