I've been able to confirm the media overwriting in another machine with
completely different hardware (Compaq EVO D510 desktop).  That machine
actually boots and runs from the CD-RW, but sector 0 on the CD-RW can
never be read again until the disk is erased and rewritten.

If no one can suggest a component to write a bug report against, I'll
just have to make a wild guess and blame _something_, probably hal.
