My recollection is that when you 'eject' a DLT, unless you operate the 
handle, or it's part of a changer unit that does it for you, any 
subsequent Test Unit Ready will reload it.

Other than that, there are couple of candidate changes in the XPT layer 
in the time frame you talk of which may be inducing this behavior. Any 
way you can get a trace of the SCSI commands sent?
