So, what happens if:

1) Someone forgot to change tape one day, or even for a week, but
then continues to swap tapes as if nothing happened, not running
amflush?

On the older versions of Amanda, it would just stay in the holding
disk.
The latest versions (optionally?) autoflush when amdump runs.

That sounds good, but what if runtapes is only 1?

I believe it writes what will fit and leaves the rest on the holding disk. Obviously, if your daily run takes up almost the entire tape, it may not
ever catch up.

That would be sensible, but what does it do in reality? :-)
