I can confirm this bug still exists in 13.10.

On my current machine, it has existed for years now, but it does not
seem to be a problem on other machines I have.

Maybe this is an old broken setting that is never deleted during upgrades? (I haven't done a reinstall since 10.04, only upgrades).
Could there be a way to tell the system to "re-configure" the cdrom drive to get rid of this behaviour?

Title:
  CD drive eject button does not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  PROBLEM

  On my laptop, pressing the hardware "eject" button on the DVD drive
  will pop out the disc, but it will still be treated as mounted by
  Nautilus. If I then put in another disc, it will still think that the
  files from the previous disc are there, as though it had not been
  ejected. This produces an error when I try to manipulate those files.

  I can't access the files from the new disc until I eject the old one
  using the button on Nautilus.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Put a CD or DVD in the drive, close it, and let Nautilus mount it.
  2. Eject it using the hardware eject key.
  3. Put in a new CD or DVD.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

  Nautilus will know when I ejected a disc.
