I don't know.  It seems like they are just accumulating naively in that case.

Ordinarily I think restores are expected to happen to a pristine filesystem, or
level >0 dumps, from the same source, onto a previous 0-level restore. 
Conflicting restores are sort of a weird case.

That does seem like a reasonable behavior to me.

Probably!  I am probably not the right person to make that change, though, as
I'm pretty unfamiliar with restore(8).
