I found something interesting. I've never been able to use the CD/DVD drive since I migrated to the Guix System (see http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35584). With core-updates, the problem remains to some extent. The difference is that if I leave a DVD in, and reboot, Nautilus detects the DVD (https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/guix-gnome-nautilus-cd-dvd-lectura-2020-04-25-1.png) and I can use it. But once I extract it and put it in again, it is not detected.

In the image in the previous paragraph you can also see a problem in the rendering of the icon in the button to extract the DVD. Several buttons in GNOME applications look like this. I'm wondering if this problem and the GNOME Web app icon rendering problem are related...
