does it work if you specifically set -sao also is this similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220972?
it works with -dao but having users specify this manually is very unfriendly
The sad truth is that you have a Plextor drive, they use proprietary extensions to the established standard. It's hard to fix when they aren't being helpful, I personally replaced my expensive Plextor drive with a cheap Lite-on to get around this issue, followed by a very disappointed mail to their tech support lamenting their claims of Linux support.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained.
