Are you sure that this only affects the qemu cdrom? Shouldn't we provide a simple workaround that catches all CD drives, no matter what kind of weird bugs there might be?
This is a bug in qemu-kvm ide cdrom drive implementation, does not implement or does not work the command "READ DISC INFORMATION".
As workaround just boot on qemu as scsi cd-rom that works better than ide implementation. (I guess that adding a workaround in archiso should be in case of real machine where there is no choice) You don't know what kind of broken hardware exists out there, sadly. udev-161 adds a workaround for qemu.
