According to MTX documentation if that happens the tape will be loaded into the next highest available slot (with wraparound).
This would cause confusion to bacula, but IMO once update slots no longer causes tape unloading, it should be run automatically before and after every robot operation as this would bring human intervention to an absolute minimum (Yes, I know this is only practical if barcodes are used, but perhaps there needs to be a "barcode = Yes/No" flag so that non-barcode users aren't massively inconvenienced.)
Kern, On a related note: Current (1.36.3) autoloader behaviour if bacula encounters a tape label in the drive it wasn't expecting is to unmount the device. I believe it'd be better to park the tape and then attempt a loader rescan and remount.
