Yes, I have experienced this too. I looked in IBM's databases and
couldn't see that anyone else had had the problem, however. I got
around it by restoring the Table of Contents of the tape to a file
and then using the file as input to the restore command.
restore -T > /tmp/TOC
cat /tmp/TOC | restore -xvf /dev/<backupdev> (either rfd0 or rmt0)
Hope this works for you.

Has anyone else observed this behavior? Is it incorrect? Yes, this behavior is incorrect and is a known problem.
