Oops.  You're right.  I forgot to consider that.

If you read carefully the quoted material you will see that I
performed this test.

If you read carefully the quoted material you will see that I
reported the data set was recalled.

I have now done this.  The data set was recalled, with SYSLOG messages
including:

11:13:07.26 STC05950 00000090 *TMS009  IEC501A M D413,665560,SL,,PRODHSM,H,UOP.H
11:13:07.25 STC05950 00080094 *IEC501A M D413,665560,SL,,PRODHSM,H,UOP.HMIGTAPE.

My observations contradict your blind guess: it appears to me that
the data set is recalled regardless of the DEFER option.
