Probably you encounter a known bug of growisofs.
It is said to be harmless but lets K3b believe the burn run failed.
See:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713016
 
Afaik, Fedora bothers to apply this fix in its packages.

Workaround is to format the BD-R before K3b hands it to growisofs
which would format it automatically, but forgets about this when
the burning is done:

  dvd+rw-format /dev/sr0


Have a nice day :)
