That does sound confusing - but the status code and the "in the wild"
state are two separate fields, so it's not impossible. Might help if
you posted links to some of the books in question, though; that way
we could tell whether the books themselves appear to have had some
unusual treatment or if you've misread something. [In some cases,
people do like to use the status codes in ways other than the
standard, and if so they may mention this in their release notes
and/or extended profiles. So read the release notes of the books in
question, and if those don't explain the status situation try reading
the extended profile of the person who released the books.]
Normally, making release notes for a book will not only give it
the "in the wild" running-book icon but will also set its status
to "traveling", which is the normal status for any book that's out of
the hands of the last person to have it and not yet journaled by the
next person. I think it's possible to change the status of an in-the-
wild book if one wants to, but why someone would choose to do that -
well, see if they mention it in their profiles, and if not I guess
all you could do would be to ask them! {grin}
