I've burnt a defective media that failed (I was giving TDK a try, usually I use Verbatim).
The strange thing is imgburn allowed me to burn it again "superimposing" the track: that's my guess, looking at the disc I can tell apart the internal ring written once from the external written twice (maybe this evening I'll post a picture).
Is this the expected behaviour?
I didn't close track/session/disc and didn't open/close the drive tray between the burns. After the second burn (failed a little further) I manually closed track/session/disc, ejected/loaded the disc and correctly imgburn refused to burn it a third time (I wouldn't have done it!).
The log follows (image build, first burn, second burn):
