As an FYI: I ran into this once on doing a restore of a job that had multiple streams one of which died. On trying to restart just the dead stream it failed because the media was still reserved by the original restore job even though it wasn't actually using it. The only way to have cleared that would have been to stop the entire job (which had the still running other streams). I opted to wait until those streams finished and the original job freed the resource.
