Public bug reported:

The physical eject button of my laptop's CD/DVD drive has no effect on a
disk that has been mounted, even if it's not used anymore by any
application (For example a video DVD that has been viewed in Dragon
Player, even after closing the Dragon Player).

The virtual eject button in the Device Notifier applet of the plasma panel 
still works fine here, providing an easy workaround for the problem.
Another working method is to manually "umount" the disk using the console.

Still, I believe this is a bug that should certainly be looked into before 
releasing a non-alpha Jaunty...
Having to deal with software troubles is something a software user might be 
forgiving about; However actually being limited in one's physical actions by a 
software system is an unexpected and thus really really frustrating thing which 
might be quite difficult for many people to be at all understanding about.

I'm running a Samsung X20 Laptop with a built-in "DV-W28E" DVD-RW drive (see 
hdparm output).
I can probably give more useful information / debug output / etc. if someone 
can tell me where to look.

The problem did not occur in Kubuntu Hardy.

The problem does not occur when the drive is empty or there's a disk
inside which is not mounted.
