When you burn an ISO, is any data other then what is on the ISO burned to the media? Is data such as the Computer's name, user name, a time stamp, the serial number of the burner, etc burned to it?

You a privacy whore or something?
I highly doubt it, unless you tell it to.
Maybe some thumbs or some shit.....idk I heard that's how the BTK killer got caught or something.
By 2004, the trail of the BTK killer had gone cold. Then, Rader sent a letter to the police, claiming responsibility for a killing that had previously not been attributed to him. DNA collected from under the fingernails of that victim provided police with previously unknown evidence. They then began DNA testing hundreds of men in an effort to find the serial killer. Altogether, some 1100 DNA samples would be taken.[6]
The police corresponded with Rader in an effort to gain his confidence. Then, in one of his communications with police, Rader asked them if it were possible to trace information from floppy disks. The police department replied that there was no way of knowing what computer such a disk had been used on, when in fact there was. Rader then sent his message and floppy to the police department, which quickly checked the metadata of the Microsoft Word document. In the metadata, they found that the document had been made by a man who called himself Dennis. They also found a link to the Lutheran Church. When the police searched on the Internet for 'Lutheran Church Wichita Dennis', they found his family name, and were able to identify a suspect: Dennis Rader, a Lutheran Deacon.

It appears that the BTK killer used a disk that had been used already. So maybe a new pristine disk......
But the cops aren't giving any clues.

I don't think it's the ISO burner itself that would put identity sensative data onto the disk i believe it's more software specific. As SWATFAG pointed out in th article it says that MSword is the culprit for leaking the info to the police.
Then again there really is no way to be 100% sure about these things but i will give some advice on the issue, if you are going to burn sensative material i would suggest using an open source app because these tend to be more "liberal" and there also free.....
I'm just rambling because i'm at work and i have nothing to do, i also hate my co-workers so i'm trying to look busy typing away on the computer.
