Unfortunately, the bug is not fixed.
There is a typo in the bug report:
> This can be fixed by uncommenting the line
> ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", RUN+="cdrom_id --eject-media $tempnode",
> GOTO="cdrom_end"
This should say: "This can be fixed by COMMENTING the line".
This is explained in the linked blog post.
As of udev 245.5-1, the line above is still present in
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules , and "eject -i on" still does not
lock the eject button.
If the line is removed/commented, "eject -i on" works as expected.
I have reopened this bug. Or maybe this should be filed against udev?
It's unclear who is "at fault" here...
