Well, I still have the same problem, but at least I have a good workaround (taken from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504041):

$ sudo umount /dev/sr0
$ sudo rmmod pata_via
$ sudo modprobe pata_via

After running the above three commands, Ubuntu recognizes the CD/DVD again.

It seems to be a problem in the PATA driver for VIA chipsets. Does anybody with the same symptoms have any chipset other than VIA?
