FYI: I've found a similar result under totally different conditions:
2.4.13-ac7
Vendor: TOSHIBA  Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1502 Rev: 1012
Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02
via ide-scsi

cdrdao read-cd --device /dev/sr0 --driver generic-mmc --buffers 80 -n
--eject --paranoia-mode 0 toc
[...]
?: Input/output error.  : scsi sendcmd: retryable error
CDB:  BE 00 00 04 2C 67 00 00 1A F8 01 00
status: 0x0 (GOOD STATUS)
cmd finished after 20.101s timeout 20s

killed with ^c

locked the drive completely. Need to reboot to eject the cd...
I suspect some bad interference between DVD firmware, kernel 
SCSI error handling and cdrdao. A plextor reader finally 
succeeded on this job (wink :)

Maybe you're barking up the wrong tree.
