With /dev/st0 there is a slight chance of bacula corrupting tapes if the tape was rewound and bacula expected the tape to be positioned at the end. Now looking at the list media result I do not think that is what happened because list media said that bacula never wrote to this volume. Even with that I still recommend on changing your config to use /dev/nst0 instead. Is it possible that there was data on this volume when you first used it with bacula? I think somehow the label barcodes failed because there was data on the tape but it still put it in the database. BTW, I have to leave soon. Its 6:36 PM here and I am still at work.. I will try to help you as much as you can before I go though.
