Which number is the block count? RMM shows volume usage, but not block count?

We are using CA1 and TSM, and we are interested in how RMM behaves: I copy a tape (that is not full) via IEBGENER. After the copy operation both input and output tape show the same block count. I copy a tape in TSM status 'full' via TSM command 'backup stgpool'. After the copy operation both input and output tape show the same block count. I copy a tape in TSM status 'filling' via TSM commnd 'backup stgpool'. After the copy operation the output tape shows the correct block count (the one that the input tape had before the copy operation). Unfortunately the *input* tape now shows a block count of 1 (yes, one), regardless how many blocks are actually on the tape. We have opened an ETR with IBM, and are being told that this is working as designed, that TSM is not changing the block count, and that this must be a CA1 problem. We would be interested to know if someone can recreate this behaviour under tape management system RMM (instead of CA1), as we are convinced that this is a bug in TSM, they just don't want to acknowledge that.
