I eventually discovered that my /etc/defaults/cdrecord file was misconfigured in some way. This had not mattered previously but perhaps some recent upgrade showed up the problem. I'm not actually quite clear what was wrong but I rewrote the file in the light of the man page and the problem disappeared. I now have things working on the desktop; the laptop requires more work to sort it out.
