So counting myself, it sounds like there are at least 3 of us experiencing a similar problem. I didn't mention it in my original post, but it's probably worth noting that I only started seeing this in 2.4.21. I was running on 2.4.20 with the same setup for a long time, and happily burning cds with magicdev running at the same time without any trouble.
