AFAICS the same bug is reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg02501.html
So, the problem seems to be that since version 143, udev doesn't put the IDE device numbers in ID_PATH. Then, if a few IDE devices belong to the same PCI ID (as can be seen in the 70-persistent-cd.rules files from the affected people), they can't be differentiated by udev anymore, breaking the persistance. I have the problem too, resulting in wrong symlinks, varying everytime (or sometimes) udev is restarted. I tried udev-141 from Ubuntu, which (as I expected) _does_ put the IDE information in ID_PATH, which makes correct symlinks in /dev. If you use libata (instead of the old BLK_DEV_IDE drivers), you wouldn't be affected, I guess. And I assume that if you put your 2 CD drives on different IDE channels, there would be no problem too because the PCI IDs would be different.
