I'd like to report an issue I've seen related to the ATA specification (PACKET command protocol in ATA-7, volume 2). The issues shows up on an Plextor PX-716SA (SATA), ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, AMD3800.
Sorry I missed that fact that you said you are using a SATAPI device. In this case I would say you may have found a host controller bug. It sounds like the host controller is not implementing the change from BSY=0 DRQ=1 to BSY=1 correctly after the last word of a DRQ block is transferred. Do you have a SATA bus analyzer? You'll probably need one to figure out what is really going on.
