It's normal operation actually;

The directory blocks are considered sequentially accessed blocks.  As
there was no member name on the DSN basically IDCAMS did exactly what
was asked, and wrote the data to the PDS Directory area.


I dare to disagree. Try the same "normal operation" with PDSE.

A PDS/E is not a perfectly matching replacement for a PDS. I would expect some differences in how the two are handled.

PDS/E is PDS Extended. Better version of PDS. PDSE is created to solve some problems with PDS. One of the problems which are solved in PDSE is improved directory integrity. "There is no mechanism to stop the PDS directory from being overwritten if a program mistakenly opens it for sequential output. If this happens, the directory is destroyed, and all the members are lost."
The sentence above is from SG246106.
