I ended up patching the logfiles written by amvault, e.g. for

$ fgrep 20020908 ../tapelist
20020908 BE-full-43 reuse
$ amvault --dest-storage vtape be-full \* \* 20020908

I get log.20201018130312.0 afterwards. Then I do

$ cp -p log.20201018130312.0 ../log_backup
$ perl -p -i -e 's/ 20020908000000 / 20020908 /g' log.20201018130312.0

and then amvaulted dump images written to vtapes can be located by
amadmin find:

$ amadmin be-full find indigo-2 | egrep "date|2002-09"
date       host     disk lv storage pool    tape or file file part status
2002-09-08 indigo-2 /     0 vtape   vtape   vBE-full-014   54  1/1 OK
2002-09-08 indigo-2 /     0 be-full be-full BE-full-43     54 1/-1 OK

$ amfetchdump -ostorage=vtape be-full indigo-2 / 20020908
1 volume(s) needed for restoration
The following volumes are needed: vBE-full-014

Press enter when ready
