Well that's what Solaris 8 sys/mtio.h tells about MTEOM:
#define MTEOM 10 /* position to end of media */
And here NetBSD 1.5:
#define MTEOM 10 /* forward to end of media */
Neither of them is saying "Message".

Please correct me if I'm wrong:
If I want to append to a tape I would MTEOM on Solaris and MTEOD on
FreeBSD so it's supposed to be used for the same reason.
None of the OS I looked into had both.
But well - that's what HP-UX define:
#define MTEOD 8 /* DDS, QIC and 8MM only - seek to end-of-data */
