Ahhh, I knew there was a reason for it, just couldn't see it.
VMTEST SYSTEM CONFIG:
Operator_Consoles 6F00 6F20 6F01 6F21 0009,
System_3270 System_Console
Emergency_Message_Consoles 6F00 6F20 6F01 6F21 0009,
System_Console
(This is basically what we used at the DR site, but they have their VM
console defined at 0001.)
The VMNEW (as it was shipped) had the following (notice no console at
0009):
Operator_Consoles 0020 0021 0022 0023 0E20 0E21 1020 ,
System_3270 System_Console
Emergency_Message_Consoles 0020 0021 0022 0023 0E20 0E21 1020 ,
System_Console
That completely explains it, THANKS!

CP choose what operator console to use by looking through the
devices listed in the Operator_Consoles statement in
SYSTEM CONFIG (or overriden by CONS=nnn via SAL).
The difference you saw would happen if VMTEST had your console
address listed in Operator_Consoles (or CONS=0009 stamped into
the SAL settings via SALIPL) and VMNEW did not. VMNEW would then
fall through to the "System_Console" which usually sits at the
end of the Operator_Console list and prompt you via SCLP/VINPUT.
