It is left as loading because the datbase has not complete recovery.
If you want to view the data you can restore with standby. This will create a file enabling it to reverse the database recovery for the next incremental or tran log.

Were any other full backups taken before the incremental?
Have you restored any other incrementals?

As you say it happens when the backup is scheduled it sounds like something is happenning that you don't know about - like a full backup being taken from somewhere. Has someone installed backup exec to take a backup direct to tape or something?
