I mentioned the HOLE stage because it was obvious the OP had not noticed that 
stage before (or overlooked it this time when trying to ignore excess lookup 
output this time), and ... 
1) because by using HOLE it becomes clearer to future plumbers maintaining that 
particular pipe that the original author specifically did not intend to process 
output from those lookup output... 
2) rather than having accidentally deleted needed lines which had handled such 
lookup output during an unfortunate late-night XEDIT session.   :-)

And when your primary input does not have duplicates, you might also swap the 
two streams (ie look for the VSE records not in BST)

  stem VSE. | l: lookup ? stem BST. | l: | cons

The reason you don't need the "hole" here is because "lookup" will continue to 
do it's work as long as relevant streams are connected. We could probably do a 
decent lecture on how eof propagates through the 12 streams (there's a picture 
in the book).
