Wait, how do you play B♭♭ differently than A on the 19-TET keyboard? There isn't a separate key for that is there?

In 19-TET, B♭♭ is an A#, which is two "steps" below B.

BTW I was wrong in that Adim is A-C-E♭-G♭. Still not enharmonic to Cdim, and probably diminished chords sound weird in general because G♭-A is four 19-TET steps, which is a 19-TET step smaller than a minor third. It probably sounds halfway between a semidiminished chord and a regular diminished chord.
