I've run into this with one CD burner, a Plextor, IIRC.  I did some
cursory googling, other folks had the problem, no solutions posted.

I just (as you seem to be doing) work around it, as the CDs burned
without problems.  

I never put much effort into solving it.  FWIW, it happened no matter
which machine had the CD burner, through 5.x and 6.x.  (I haven't put
that burner in a box running CURRENT.)  

I just made a little script to open and close the cd tray (using the
older version of eject, as the newer version lacks the -t to close the
tray option) but you can do the same with cdcontrol using the eject and
close options.

Not that this helps, but just letting you know you're not alone.  :)

Giles: I need you to take Spike for a few days. 
Xander: What? 
Spike: What? 
Anya: What? 
Spike: I'm not stayin' with him. 
Giles: I have a friend who's coming to town, and I'd like us to 
be alone. 
Anya: Oh, you mean an orgasm friend? 
Giles: Yes, that's exactly the most appalling thing you could 
have said.
