The system will automount the drive and Konqueror sees it as such.
While konqueror won't allow you to mount it a second time, the command
line will.  You'll have it mounted on top of itself, however, and it
will take two "umount /mnt/cdrom" commands to unmount it.

You can try to force an unmount by using "umount -f /mnt/cdrom", too.
