It should have managed the failure... I'm sorry about delay, it's 
probably inappropriate to ask if kernel has logged anything by the time 
failure occured... What growisofs version is it? What is 
dvd+rw-mediainfo output for coaster?

Huh? Is it possible that there is some kind of auto-mounter is running? 
 In case you wonder how is worked before. If the only thing that 
changed was unit and unit only. Compliant unit should be able to manage 
auto-mounter when recording DVD+R or +RW media, but not all 
units/firmware can actually do that.

Something else is crazy... I have to ponder over it... A.
