It seems that the modified datafile (with the emp changes) is the only file
that is from the post set. I think that Oracle is assuming that you are
starting the database with the "post" emp datafile (from step 3) and recovering
all other files (the ones from step 1). It sees no changes in any of the other
files (from step 1), so all files are at the timing of the emp datafile (step
3). That's why I think that this worked.
I haven't tried this exact recovery (it is a good one), but I would have
expected Oracle to ask for you to issue the recover database command to match
all files date & time stamps (since they were different).
