That's not bizarre, it's just unlucky. Mounting the DVD only requires
reading a few sectors. Howver it could fail at some random future time
if anything tries to read a bad block.

Another potential cause is that the DVD itself is fine but the reader
can't seek as far as it needs to when doing the install.

And BTW *please* don't top-post! See how I replied below your message?
See how it makes it easier to read?
