This is normal, the adduser maintainer didn't want to add those groups, or
something such, while the base-config package was hacked to do it. So the
initial user get added to all the groups, while the additional ones don't.
BTW, i wonder how you launch nautilus-cd-burner, i didn't find a menu item
containing it.
