Hmm. Unfortunatly it's not just a few tapes, more like 17 from the full backup and then 10 more from the last differential.
I don't really care about the file in question where the I/O error happened, I'm much more concerned with completing the restore of the other ~3,000,000 files on the backup. So there is no way for bacula to ignore read errors (just log them) and continue? this seems to be a major oversight.

Bacula does not have that feature.
You can however use the volume utility tools to try to recover
whatever is on the last few tapes. This will be a bit of manual work.
Even with that I am not sure how well you can recover the bad tape.
You may have to skip past the bad part and pick up on the next volume
file (if possible).
