this feature was actually introduced in 4.5 FP3:  (and also exists in 5.0)

NBU keeps track of both the current volume pool and the previous 
volume pool for a given piece of media.  When this media expires, if 
the previous volume pool matches the current scratch volume pool, 
that piece of media will automatically go back to the scratch volume 
pool.
