These are the most-reported symptoms, and I have also seen them
yesterday.

Correct. I did some quick tests yesterday and it looks that it works
every time if the DVD+R medium is inside the drive when it is
powered up. It behaves as if the drive does not fully recognize the
medium - which is strange, because it correctly reports its type.

DVD+R does not support simulation mode (something that is...erm...
not especially well-reflected in CDVDBurn's dialogues) anyway, so this
can't be the problem. Or maybe the MMC standard is lying...

This drive, while I don't own it myself, can be considered
"supported". I think the symptoms we see are not drive specific.
