A thought occurred from looking at your picture.
IIRC, the button to release the lens from "A" position can be trapped
in a different groove (on the inside...) than where it should be, and
that it takes a bit of fiddling to get it in the right place with the
spring and all.

On second thought, a crappy picture speaks more than a thousand
crappy words.

The ring is jammed in this position. Note how it's not only past
the "A" setting but there is also a small gap between the aperture
ring and the other piece. The aperture ring can be moved in and
out by maybe 1-2mm. It can also be rotated by about the width of
the "A" button (ie not very far).
