Using SQL Server 2005.
(Tested on Developer edition running on XPSP2 & Enterprise Eval running on
Windows 2003 SP1)

1. Create a backup device Device1
2. Backup AdventureWorks to Device1
3. Backup OtherDB2 to Device1 with NO Init
4. Try to restore the OtherDB2 using Management studio.
Select "From Device" and select device1.
5. Go to Options - to see the list of files ... it shows Adventureworks
files when it should show OtherDB2 files.

Is this a bug ?

And the best part ..... if you actually perform the restore ... it restores
correctly... i.e the OtherDB2 eventhough it shows Adventureworks filelist in
the options page.

I think you should file a bug on
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/ for this.
