Can't tell for sure whether it matches your case but I still have
a 'to do' item on my desk which seems remotely related.

I was making some tests backing up (using PGM=ADRDSSU) a number of
GDGs (all belonging to GDSes defined with limit 1) to a single
backup dataset. Not wanting to overlay the only GDG entries in
case of a restore, I tried to do the restore with RENAMEU changing
the last (GooooVoo) qualifier to hardcoded value 'RESTORE'. It
didn't work as intended but as a result I had two GDG entries in
the catalog for each GDS affected. That is, they were restored but
not renamed. I have removed these bogus entries since so I can't
check whether they were marked 'rolled off' or not.

In case someone can immediately tell me where I went wrong
parameterizing ADRDSSU for the restore here are the statements I
had used:

 //STEP010 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,COND=(0,NE) PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN'
 //BACKUP    DD DSN=my.backup.dataset,DISP=SHR
 //SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
 //SYSIN     DD *
  RESTORE DATASET ( -
            INCLUDE ( -
                      gds.dataset.name1.* -
                      gds.dataset.name2.* -
                    ) -
                  ) -
          INDDNAME   ( BACKUP  )        -
          RENAMEU    ( (*,**.RESTORE) ) -
          WAIT       ( 15 , 60 )
