Claimed RDMs Available for Disk/LUN Creation

Hey All:

6.0, in the LAB thankfully.  Last week I was setting up some test SQL vms with shared RDMs to test the FCI and vmotion enhancements.  Working as it should.  Well I was adding some more iSCSI storage today and made a change to the default PSP which required the host reboot.  After it came back up, I went to add my new iSCSI storage, and all the RDMS that are currently connected to my pair of SQL vms are available to add as storage (disk/LUN/VMFS datastore).  I double checked and I do not have any storage filters in place to "filter" the RDMs which can be set to false.  Its all default.  To me this seems odd, that could be a major issue in production, if someone were to claim a RDM in use for a VMFS datastore, thus wiping the LUN clean.  Has anyone seen this type of behavior in 6.0.

Just to be safe I changed my PSP back to Fixed - rebooted and the behavior remains.  Very odd and concerning - however that is the whole point of the lab.  Any input would be appreciated.
