To me it looks unrelated to #7810. In my case files are "written" to the
disk but they disappear after umount, I don't get any OOPS (nothing at
all in the log).
I'm not sure it's a regression either. As I said I rarely use pktcdvd,
it's possible that the last time I used it I still had the old
motherboard with VIA IDE controller.
