In those cases I usually stop working in directory Feature_A/ and do a
fresh new checkout (of the last "stable" release on which the fix must
be applied) in directory Issue_B/, then do the quick fix, commit it, and
delete the directory Issue_B/.

Then I continue working on Feature_A/ until it is ready for commit, I
commit it, and only then I "mtn merge".

This of course has sense only if Issue_B/ is "quick & easy", if Issue_B
itself is worth quite a few commits, then creating a branch is probably
much better =)
