Ahhhh.  'bingo'.

First off, is this a home-burned disc (and if so, was it burned in TAO mode?)

Even if it wasn't, a number of drives are popping up now that refuse to read
track pregaps (which are marked as silence) as audio.  A number of Sony drives
also have this feature.

It looks like I'll have to find one of these beasts to experiment with toward
constructing a fix or workaround.

The buffering and overlapping paranoia performs may be misleading here.

I'm sure your build is OK; I expect the drive is just doing something mildly
annoying.  Could I see some of that output you mentioned, along with a sample
progress bar?

Thanks,

Monty
