It's certainly not desired behavior...

Nope.  From the amreport man page:

       -p postscriptfile
              Send the postscript output to the file  postscript�
              file instead of to the lpr(1) command.  This option
              has an effect only if the  lbl-templ  directive  is
              specified in amanda.conf.

IOW, it redirected the postscript output (that is, the tape label that 
would normally be printed) to the named file -- you just overwrote the 
8.5x11 label template...

You need to change lbl-templ in amanda.conf to change the type of label 
that gets printed.
