Again, it depends on the drive. That happens on some of my boxes but not all
of them. For ISOs, though, it's just as easy to do an md5sum (or sha1sum if
you prefer it).
Timing issues with different drive hardware seem to be an issue indeed.
Some drives take a long time to reload the tray and examine the disc.
Other drives are quick at that.
As mentioned in bz #440343 I can verify ISOs in k3b just fine _if_ burning
CDs or CD-RWs. Only temporarily it was broken just as with DVDs. Meanwhile
I burn on a different Linux platform.
