As usual, the answer was in the documentation:
"Bacula will not automatically use a Volume in your autochanger unless it is labeled and the slot number is stored in the catalog and the Volume is marked as InChanger."
Because my old loader does not have a barcode reader, "update slots" fails and does nothing. The new loader is confident that the other tapes are not in there, it marks the volumes as "InChanger=0" when I run "update slots". After that, Bacula thinks they aren't there and won't load them until "update slots" is run again. I believe I can get the behavior I want by setting all of my volumes as InChanger=1 and never running update slots again.
