I did get a chance to ask one of the Linspire people if they'd had such
problems, and he said that they've come across DVD burners that seem to
have buggy firmware.  Usually it affects a specific model while other
burners from the same manufacturer are fine.

That doesn't sound like there's likely to be a fix unless the kernel
crowd finds work-arounds and puts them in the driver.
