The message is issued by restore, not by dump. According
to /usr/src/sbin/restore/restore.c, beginning at line 620,
the explaination is:

	If we find files on the tape that have no corresponding
	directory entries, then we must have found a file that
	was created while the dump was in progress. Since we have
	no name for it, we discard it knowing that it will be
	on the next incremental tape.

This fits the "snapshot theory". Use the source, Luke. :-)
