Whenever Bacula marks a tape in error, it clearly prints that fact and why in the Job Report, so it is not quite accurate to say that it is "impossible to distinguish between such a case and a case of a /real/ tape error.". Note, more recent versions of Bacula permit logging job reports to the database and easy access to that info using the GUI bat program.
Just the same, having an additional state such as Inconsistent is a possibility. I will add it to our TODO list, but have not really decided whether or not to do it. In any case, it is a good deal of work to add a new state, including a major update of the database, so even if it is approved, don't count on it any time soon. If you want to ensure that this will become a project, please see: www.bacula.org -> Feature Requests and follow the procedure outlined there.
