I'm in the same boat you are with this Ed, I've even been seeing vaulted
images being listed with regular images on the same tape. I totally do not
understand how that has happened.

I thought I had a clue but 5.0 is throwing me for a loop.  A recent
vault run listed the images on a single tape that really stunned me.  It
was a mix of images from different volume pools from different media
servers, and some of the images should have already expired.  How it
came up with that beats me...
