I can confirm this issue with ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have a standard cd rom drive (no burner or dvd). I had also seen this issue with the previous LTS release of ubuntu. The drive seems to eject fine until it completes its initial intialization. I have ejected the tray serveral times, until it will not eject anymore and it seems to stop ejecting after the light stops blinking on the drive. After login i try the eject command and get the unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device error. I can force the drive trat open, insert a disk (gparted livecd), close the tray with the button as normal, the system opens the disk fine. With the disk in the closed tray the eject command returns no error,remove the disk and close the tray and the issue returns including the the eject command errors. Any additional data needed let me know.
