What does the dotted grayed out circle in on this iPhone/iPad mean?

When I open iTunes and go to my iPad or iPhone and click "On This iPhone/iPad" and choose categories on the right, some items are grayed out with a dotted circle on the left. This primarily seems to be in the "Books" (some), "Tones" (most) and "Voice Memos" (all) sections.


This isn't the play/unplayed blue dot. It's something else.


Any ideas what this means?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1, AT&T 32 GB

Same here. A lot of duplicated appear in iTunes viewing my iPads music, iTunes match activated. I assume this related to items not downloaded or sorted into the music catalogue correctly. I do also assume that this is the 4GB space or part of it apearing as "other" in the memory usage overview - the colorful bar.

iOS 6.01, iTunes 11 on Win7
