> So the question is, Is this the expected behavior of the listsoftware command?
yes, because in some cases we add software list per dumper requests even before the corresponding driver is written, or before the system BIOS is dumped, or before the code necessary to load the dumped images is created
thus you end up with software lists which contain valid dumps and document them, without being hooked up to any MAME/MESS driver (and thus without being accessible to the -listsoftware command)
eventually, all lists will be hooked up to the emulator, but for the time being the existence of the xml allows to document all we currently know about those dumps, which is better than not having anything at all
also, you can always use the batch scan/rebuild options of cmpro to handle those xml files separately (fwiw, personally I prefer to handle *all* software lists via such option ;-) )
