This can explain why I succeed writing a DVD-R using "growisofs"; but not
to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, nor change back to
the sequential format using "dvd+rw-format".

Maybe I will reconsider my position on using the -RELEASE. As I said
before: maybe this will resolve this particular problem, but running
a -CURRENT has some other disavantages!... :-\
Because this is related to a bug, is it not possible to integrate a
patch for this in the security advisories and other critical fixes
branch for RELENG_5_2?
For the second part of your answer, I already succeed to:
- write CD-R (cdrecord);
- write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord);
- write a DVD-R (growisofs).
So, as stated by Jörg Schilling in a previous post:
"Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations.
If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck."
Maybe is it some luck, but it seems to run correctly...
