Perhaps it's due to this:

"Previously, the cdrom driver can't differentiate between tray closed w/
no media and tray open and always returned tray open, which triggers
close and retry in the open logic which probably have delayed things
enough to get the media recognized.

Now the cdrom driver can discern between tray closed w/o media and
device not ready for other reasons and returns -ENOMEDIUM on the former.
This is all good and dandy but the problem seems that some drives report
no media right after the tray is closed but it hasn't properly detected
the media yet."
