I think that default is indeed wrong. I think that if an application needs to lock the tray, then it should explicitly ask for that (for example a cd recording application). The current behavier is enough for me because I don't use CD/DVDs that contain anything but standard filesystem data. But for anybody that plays DVD, this is real problem.
