So am I unreasonable to expect that a 150 grain .308 bullet ought to be usable in 30-06, not just in 30-30, unless it is specifically marked and marketed as meant only for the 30-30?

Yes, the demands and requirements of the two calibers require different bullets. In general, the intended use of the bullet is included in the full product name. If not, you should read the description. Flat-nose is a reliable indicator of 30-30 application.
I buy 30 caliber bullets for my 308 and have never mistakenly bought 30-30 bullets. If I buy roundnose they will be 180 - 220 gr. IMO 30-06 is a lot of cartridge for a 150 gr. projectile. But then, I love shooting 110 gr Sierra Varminter in 308!
