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.
