I've seen it happen when planner thinks the tape is full, and it
decides to switch to incrementals for some of the disks.  It warns
you then with a "planner: Dump too big for tape: full dump of ... delayed".
(It seems indeed the best thing it can do given the constraints of 
a overflowing tape and the order to keep as much as it can.)
