Sorry for not looking there, but actualy I tried both (with same result).

And the code in disk_io.c which (to my understanding) generates the error
doesn't really distinguish between (cd) and (cd0):

               || (*device == 'c' && cdrom_drive != GRUB_INVALID_DRIVE))
              && (device += 2, (*(device - 1) != 'd')))
            errnum = ERR_NUMBER_PARSING;

Both can generate this failure if cdrom_drive == GRUB_INVALID_DRIVE.

Have you verified that this feature still works? Perhaps a recent commit
broke it.
