I tested with a CD-RW, and the behaviour was slightly different:

- Nothing automtically created a pktcdvd device, so blkid initially
worked with a CD-RW inserted and the pktcdvd modules loaded.
- After running pktsetup to create the block device /dev/pktcdvd/0,
blkid and any other program attempting to open that device hung.

My conslusion is that pktcdvd is eqaully broken for CD-RWs.
