Hi, this is quite a nagging bug and it's very easy to fix.

Currently, when I have an ISO image mounted as an optical device, VirtualBox does NOT show it in the optical drive icon or after invoking its popup. It's weirdly inconvenient and absolutely counter-intuitive.

Please, fix.

This happens only for the special medium which contains the Guest Additions. Any other optical medium is added to the list and the corresponding item is checked. Also check the tooltip.
