I've seen the same thing for the past several weeks (worked fine at some point 
prior to 6.1). I'm running 6-STABLE, updated every couple weeks.  As near as 
I've been able to determine, the fixate step doesn't actually do anything, so 
your CD's will still be "open" but should work fine under any modern OS.  As 
a workaround you can repeat the fixate step at a lower speed:
burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s 4 fixate

I haven't experimented enough to know at what speed the fixate step breaks, 
but that does seem to be what's going on. I also haven't tried turning off 
ATAPICAM, which would be another interesting data point. If you or someone 
else has the time to figure out exactly which (set of) commits started 
producing this behavior, that would be excellent material for a PR.  I may 
get around to it myself but it's not a high priority.

Looks like you forgot it.  In my case (using ATAPICAM):

acd1: CDRW <SONY CD-RW CRX215E1/SYS2> at ata1-slave UDMA33
cd1 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd1: <SONY CD-RW  CRX215E1 SYS2> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd1: 33.000MB/s transfers
cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
