Yet, SDB appears to have filled in BLKSIZE for a data set that was never
opened.

SDB determines the blocksize twice. At allocation time, even if the dataset was never opened, it calculates the blocksize from the supplied RECFM and LRECL. Then it sets a flag saying that it did so.

At OPEN time, if that flag is set, and if the RECFM or LRECL in the DCB is different from the values provided at allocation time, it recalculates the blocksize.
