I had 5.x go from 001_010 to 002_010, then 003_010, etc. even though there were 5 more blank tapes in magazine 001 and 15 blank tapes in each 002, 003, etc. So I'm pretty sure Bacula's tape selection algorithm is unpredictable -- at least to an end-user who isn't Kern. You just don't get hit by it very often.
