"Classical game theory says that player 1 should chose A for expected utility 3, as this is better than than the sub game of choosing between B and C "

No since this is not a subgame because of the uncertainty. From Wikipedia " In game theory, a subgame is any part (a subset) of a game that meets the following criteria...It has a single initial node that is the only member of that node's information set... "

I'm uncertain about what TDT/UDT would say.

Can you give an example a pair G1, G2 such that you consider G2 to be a "subgame" of G1?
