Kind of. "-set all", >1 set, and level 0 all together are a special case
that trigger the tape change prompt.  I used to use it in that fashion when
it was originally designed.

You're right that it should be turn-off-able but isn't.  noted...

For now if you don't want to edit, you could either:

 - Put the directories you want on one tape together into just one set
   rather than multiple ones

 - Chain the sets like this:

    flexbackup -newtape ; \
    flexbackup -set <set1> -norewind -noerase ; \
    flexbackup -set <set2> -norewind -noerase ; \
    flexbackup -set <setn> -noerase
