I don't think it would do something like this. I think your approach on using *STV repeatedly also works. I also tried this manually quite a number of times and in all cases an ordering of e.g. A, B, C yielded in:
-s 1 -> A
-s 2 -> A, B
Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the mechanics/mathematics behind this to give a real mathematical proof for this. So my whole statement is solely based on the observations I made while trying different combinations.
