IMHO, this is may not be a bug in HAL, but a bug in nautilus-cd-burner, 
probably introduced at version 2.15.
I have successfully written CD using nautilus-cd-burner 2.14.3  on my Feisty 
system.
The problem appears to be that alternative strategies used to be adopted if 
volume.disc.capacity was not present, and this is no longer the case (see the 
function nautilus_burn_drive_get_media_size in nautilus-burn-drive.c (2.14.3), 
and compare with monitor_set_drive_media in nautilus-burn-drive-monitor.c 
(2.18.2))
I think it is a nautilus problem because the volume.disc.capacity property is 
optional in HAL, as can be seen from the spec 
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/doc/spec/hal-spec.html?view=co#device-properties-volume-disc

An alternative approach may be to add some config to HAL for the missing
drives, but this is going to be very piece-meal.
