if a cdrom burnt under windows contains hidden files you cannot see and/or read them from linux. while you can see hidden files in mounted windows filesystems. This happens with any Linux kernel and i have no idea how windows does burn these hidden files on cdroms and wether or not it would be good for Linux to read them, anyway there is a "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions" voice that claims to let you read Joliet cdroms and maybe you would like these file to be read too.

Did you try the unhide mount option?
