Chris (and all), What came to my mind (analogy from the floppy disk drive days) was - could it be that the read heads on the burner drive are getting flaky and when they're a bit off, they won't read (but the laser 'write heads' are still in alignment fine)?
That may be totally off, but is the only thing that comes to mind and would seem to fit your (admittedly strange) circumstances. You might post this one to G-List or the G-Books List on LowEndMac Lists - there are some Apple certified techs on G-Books list (and maybe others) who might have experienced this with somebody's Mac coming through their shop.
