Nope, no such facility exists now.
It does use a numeric "index key" for each tape, so this kind of thing
could be added, perhaps like:
run a command such as "flexbackup -dir xxxxxxxx -tapekey 12345678"
when about to do a a backup
get tape index off the drive (code already does this)
compare to desired key
if not equal, exit

Not all tapes drives support that operation.
Someone sent a simple suggestion the other day though
(flexbackup <whatever> && mt offline)

I think that's just a methodology question. Sure, you can arrange it
however you want. "flexbackup -level 0 -erase" will wipe the tape and do a
full backup every day if you want it to.... swap the tapes as much as you
like. As mentioned above, there is no label-checking mechanism currently.
