Hmm.  I thought you might be interested to know that I recently
upgraded my Plextor CD rewriter to firmware 1.03, and the
phenomenon went away, and I generally seem to get far fewer random
errors (this is just a feeling I have, no proof or statistics).
Unfortunately, ripping with cdparanoia also takes roughly twice as
long, which was not what I desired ;-).  Obviously they've done
something, 'cause here's what Plextor's changelog for my firmware
says:

    PX - W8220T V1.03

    Fixed Bugs:

          Correction for reading of ISRC codes
          Correction for SAO, writing the Lead-Out
          Write error after Quick Erase

    Improvements:

          Extraction quality for Read CD-DA (DAE)
