Here I can't easily help you, because on my systems it always *is* checked. ;-)

If you burn media the kernel locking doesn't (or didn't) protect the burner 
access from being interrupted by a read, and you write a coaster. I'm willing to 
start players and such by hand if I want them, I back up to DVD a lot, so that's 
appropriate for my use, but leaves me short on experience with actually 
auto-mounting the media.

I agree with your description, it sounds like the box is checked, which was my 
first thought. Sorry it wasn't a solution.
