There's a race condition at work there. The fix? Slooooow dooooown.

1) Test completes and the CD is ejected.
2) Re-insert the CD
3) Wait a few seconds for the CD to be detected (watch the drive light) 
4) Hit "Continue"

and you should be fine. If you end up with the error dialog: Insert the
CD, *wait*, then hit OK.
