I have the very same problem, and could workaround it like this, by
editing the persistent CD rules to use the ID_SERIAL instead of ID_PATH
and rebooting.

That'd be great.

Just FTR, all by-path entries seem to be gone, no more /dev/disks/by-path/

I don't think it's sensible, because there still are many an application
that use /dev/dvd as the default DVD device.  First coming to mind is
MPlayer.  Of course you can tell it to use another device, but it won't
detect the device automatically, so it kinda breaks its default
configuration.
