There the tale ends.

I planted a bunch of the seeds that year (I was growing seedling for our community garden sale) and all were regular leaf seedlings. The one I kept for my own plot had fruits just like those Tania shows. I managed to successfully bag blossoms and save seeds in case was interested in what I then described as a "lovely fig-shaped, orangey-red, somewhat seedy, disease-prone but very vigorous RL indet. plant with fruit that drops off the vine when ripe." ;-) No, not a lot of people clamoring for seeds so far.
bitterwort, your seeds from Sandhill likely came from the same batch as mine (2005 seeds (or earlier) is what is usually labelled 'for 2006') . So maybe something was mixed up on their end that particular year... the question is what variety was that? Or, could be a cross...
You noted that fruits dropped off the vines - my memory fails me here, I do not remember how mine behaved, my notes do not say anything about that. I could not judge disease tolerance, as my 2009 tomato garden was practically disease free due to the wonderful weather we had (which is not typical here).
