I haven't had much love on this issue....but I have a work around - if anyone is interested.
Well I have figured out one solution....but am still curious why the join function should work this way. Would seem to be a flaw?
I got around this by using the same field reference in both files then piping this through awk, and where 2.4 was not valid using 1.4 - or when 2.4 was valid using that i.e.
join -t\| -j1 1 -j2 1 -a 1 -o 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 2.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 $OUTFILE TMP_INFILE |
awk -F\| '{
if ($5 ~ /^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$/) {
x = $5
} else {
x = $4
}
printf("%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s\n", $1, $2, $3, x, $6, $7, $8);
}' > replaced

Tk_GetJoinStyle(3TK) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetJoinStyle(3TK)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_GetJoinStyle, Tk_NameOfJoinStyle - translate between strings and join styles
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetJoinStyle(interp, string, joinPtr)
CONST char *
Tk_NameOfJoinStyle(join)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting.
CONST char *string (in) String containing name of join style: one of ``bevel'', ``miter'', or ``round''.
int *joinPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store X join style corresponding to string.
int join (in) Join style: one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, JoinRound.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetJoinStyle places in *joinPtr the X join style corresponding to string, which will be one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, or JoinRound. Join
styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how adjacent line segments should be joined together. See the X documentation
for information on what each style implies.
Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If string doesn't contain a valid join style or an abbrevia-
tion of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *joinPtr is unmodified.
Tk_NameOfJoinStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJoinStyle. Given a join style such as JoinBevel it returns a statically-allocated
string corresponding to join. If join isn't a legal join style, then ``unknown join style'' is returned.
KEYWORDS
bevel, join style, miter, round
