This problem is actually documented here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_CD

"Sometimes computer CD-ripping programs (particularly cdparanoia) have
problems ripping some enhanced CDs, especially those that have the
data in a separate session after the audio section. These CDs have the
data 11,400 sectors (2m32s) after the audio, but some CD rippers may
try to rip this blank section with the last track; the end result is
that the ripper stalls during the last track, or simply reports
errors."
