Confirmed. The DVD in question (DeLorme Topo USA) shows files when mounted
with "nojoliet". But when the application is run, the maps are scrambled.
It must be mounted as udf to work.
The original bug report incorrectly asserted that the iso9660 filesystem
was empty, sorry about that.
But this does seem to be an example (which
has been widely reported elsewhere) of a DVD with a differing udf and iso9660
filesystems. Lots of people have reported that, since Windows no longer
uses the "iso9660 udf bridge", lots of mastered DVDs have unintentionally
corrupt versions of it. Others have hinted this is done deliberately for
copy protection reasons.

Solving the problem by documentation
------------------------------------
The patches already supplied to mount(8) and fstab (5) give give a sysadmin
the tools to learn about and solve the problem, thanks for applying them!
It just seems like there's a bit more to say about potentially differing udf
and iso9660 filesytems on the same disc... that's the thiking behind the extra
paragraph in the patch.
Solving the problem automatically (keeping the issue out of the users face)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mastering houses will test their discs on Windows. While in general emulating Windows
is something I hate, here it makes sense. The more
closely the mount automounter emulates how windows automounts, the more likely
this type of discussion will never need to come up.
According to Alan Windows tries udf first, blindly, then falls back to iso9660.
As many people pointed out, this is not a kernel issue, it's a automount
isuse.
