Uhm, no. There a things Windows typically does and things that hal/linux 
typically do. The fact that hal/linux does something different doesn't mean
it's buggy or an issue. It just means that your hardware might behave different
then what your used to on Windows.

Now one thing that hal does and Windows doesn't is that it checks if your cdrom
eject button was pressed. Which might cause the blink on your system. 

My TODO includes making a small program which does the checking the same way as
hal so i can check this theory.  If someone wants to beat me to it, please do,
i'm rather short on time these days :)
