User can't eject cd with udev 173

After upgrade to udev 173 I find that I can't eject a cd or dvd, only root can eject media. Permissions on my device files and mount points are the same as ever and the user has rw privilege on the device, /dev/sr0.

As user:
$ eject /dev/sr0
unmounts the device but fails to eject with the message "inapproriate ioctl for device"

As root
# eject /dev/sr0
unmounts and ejects.

$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root optical 11, 0 Aug  6 14:12 /dev/sr0

(the user is a member of optical)

Downgrading to udev 171-2 resolves the problem.

How can I diagnose this problem?

I also have the exact same behavior with udev 173-3

This should be fixed by the most recent eject package.
