Doesn't look like it's been documented yet, but the 6.5.2 documentation update states in the "KMS considerations" subsection:
■ NetBackup GUI and CLI changes to report the encryption key tag addition to
the NetBackup image information
The bpimmedia and bpimagelist were modified.
I think you found the modification. :)
It goes on to say...
When a NetBackup image has been encrypted, the key tag is recorded and
associated with the image. You can see this information through NetBackup
Administration Console reports, or in the output of the bpimmedia and bpimagelist
commands.
See pages 426 and 453:
Veritas NetBackup 6.5.6 Documentation Updates
http://support.veritas.com/docs/348223
Looks like we need to update THIS TechNote for 6.5.2!
DOCUMENTATION: What are the different fields in "bpimagelist -l" output?
http://support.veritas.com/docs/193085
So, the short answer (too late) is that this was part of the KMS (Key Management Service) introduced in NetBackup 6.5.2. If you're not using KMS, expect to see a lot of NULLs. :)
