I haven't experienced what you mention but try darkening the entire 
image with a new brightness/contrast adjustment layer. then fill that 
layer in with black (edit>fill...)  and then paint the areas you want 
burnt down with white. I like to darken more than I need and control 
the burning with the transperancy setting of the brush that I'm using. 
(I never use the burn tool. I like the results from this method far 
better).

<<Tyler, Harald is a Very well known in the printing industry. You really
should take a look at his book "Mastering Digital Printing".  It has a
lot of info on all the Hextone, quadtone, and color archival inks, 
papers and CIS systems we discuss here all the time.

still lots of them around.
