Yes, the message wont explain it in enough detail to the end user.
It even scares him.

 Hi Fernado,
 Its not a bug,the case you mentioned happens when the process using your
 cd-rom isn't killed properly(or isn't killed at all),leaving the system
 thinking that the cd is still in use..

No other app was using the DVD ROM.
Just plain old Nautilus...
Microsoft address this situations by either closing the explorer window, or 
moving up a level.

That's a much better explanation than the error message. So you're
right, it's not a bug: it's two bugs. One is that the error message is
unhelpful, and the other is that the CD should be ejectable if the only
programs that were using it aren't running any more.

Cheers

About the latter, see bug 91239: Cannot unmount volume: show which 
application(s) still use the drive [1]. This is a bitesize work that could be 
worth a bounty for somebody motivated.
