I don't think everything you said is true. Some of the Linux distros have paid programmers, and I'm sure that they must do some testing before they put an app out. Even programmers who donate their time must do some testing too.No programmer I ever knew would just write code and ship! And in a long engineering career, I've known quite a few!
There are some paid programmers, on some projects, not all. But not paid testers, as far as I know. Programmers, specially volunteers, do some testing on their machines, I suppose. But that doesn't mean they have a bunch of machines to do testing on every change they do. With software that handles hardware (the burner), it is possible that it works on the machines they have and don't on some other machine. And after all, only one person has complained of problems, and I guess he doesn't want to contribute by reporting, so it will never be solved. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
