Double weird! I could -swear- there were words to that effect in the "Providing Recovery" topic in the Assembler Services Guide, but a quick scan of the newest and oldest (z/OS 1.1) versions of those books online comes up dry on that account. Unfortunately I just threw out my old hardcopy versions from the MVS days so I have no way to disprove it. It may be the case that I'm just having a senior moment, but I would also -swear- I used to see lots of X'0080' PKMs in SVC dumps. A PKM with both key 8 and 9 would have shown up as X'00C0'. Color me astonished.
