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.

PS: Please do not forget FS#20107 - [udev] Cleanup for arch-udev-rules.patch ( http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20107 )
