I use udev and have /dev/cdrom mapped to /dev/cdrom -> hda. I have all SCSI except for the CD/DVD unit. Here's the udev rule

# cdrom symlinks and other good cdrom naming
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SY

I have experienced the exact same situations as you have described.
But, for some very odd reason, I have not seen an error while mounting
a cdrom ever since I changed my fstab line from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc.

I am clueless as to why this is the case... heck.

Would depend upon what /dev/cdrom is mapped to, whether you're using the legacy devfs or udev, etc.

/dev/hdc will always map to the ide device where /dev/cdrom might be
incorrectly configured (i.e. via udev) to not map to the correct device.
