Oh dear!
A friend burned for me a driver disc for a USB device. He stuck a
small white label 0.3" x 1.0" on the top surface. After it has been
running a while in the CDRom drive, the leading edge lifted and
whacked everything it contacted. The racket was incredible and I
thought the drive was disintegrating!

Yeah, that's a definite no-no. Such a label also imbalances the CD
(think of the lead weights on your rims), which leads to addidional
vibration that can damage a drive. The stickum on those return address
labels isn't so great, either, as you discovered. I'm not surprised it
came off under hot, high-speed rotational conditions.
