I am not a guru regarding cd burning. Those are just guess from the few i
know. Cdrom have error control : this means they not only copy the data
but also data to check if it is not corrupted and a few duplicate to
survive this breakage.
Those errors would mean that cdrdao found such corruption on the media ,
tough as it does not fails to copy i guess there was enough safe "control
data" to restore it.

That s why it is told to clean cdrom from the center to the edge. If you
scratch the medium as the control data is next to it. A scratch that only
happens on a radius won't destroy the control data. 


So i would say that the medium you copy  from is somewhat scratched and
may not survived a few other such damages . But the copy is safe (error
corrected and new clean medium ).
