This reports that the Next Writable Address is 0 and that 0x3fb000
(=4173824) blocks are free.

This command shall reserve 0x3b1a60 (= 3873376) blocks.
After the irregularly long time of 346 seconds it fails with the error
code for "Write Error".
Normally this is an indication for drive or medium problems.

Do you see an indication of the failed MMC command and the error code
there ?
Is the medium still blank after the failure ?
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/hda
...
Media status : is blank
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can avoid the RESERVE TRACK command by keeping xorriso from knowing
the size of your ISO image in advance:
$ cat big.fat.iso | xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hda -eject -
It has to be feared that this will fail at some other command.
E.g. one of the WRITE commands which transfer the data to the drive.
Have a nice day :)
