Sadly I have to confirm that, too. 
http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/README
says this:

UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
------------------------------------

Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be
taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical
connections with the device.

This feature generates the following ACPI events:

	ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request
	ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted

NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present
when the laptop was originally booted [...]

My thought: Why does this NOT happen even WITH the device inserted? Any
ideas? I lack knowledge concerning this, but that's what came into my
mind. Maybe just some trigger not set when compiling the kernel, or
acpi, or sth.?

Btw, my system: Thinkpad T41p, Hardy, Kernel  2.6.24-19-generic, was
-16- before with same effects; latest updates always installed.
