If one places new barcode labels on recycled tapes that contain
expired data, enable them for writing, import into the jukebox
and perform an inventory, what will Legato do?

Will it detect a written label on the tape? And if so will it
balk at reusing the tape and new label, or just merrily use the
tape as it would a new one? Or does it do something else?

All of the old tapes I've begun recycling are in the Default
pool and it's a royal pain relabeling them for use in other
pools (such as NDMP), which is the norm now.

Solaris 5.8, Legato 6.1.4 if it matters.
