Thanks to everyone for taking the time to test this. I really appreciate
it :-)

Doing the volumagic trick will certainly work; I suspect that is how
Windows work.

I have no idea why this doesn't work and it's difficult to debug since
it works with my drive; I'll try to dig out some more drives. If anyone
else feels like it, the latest MMC-2 draft is here (the final version
costs money)

and here is the Media Status Notification Support Spec

which may be helpful.

Hope this helps
