It's not really something I'm planning to spend time on in udisks since a) I'm focusing on udisks2; and b) floppies are extremely rare nowadays.

I doubt it's a problem with udisks2.. in fact, last I checked, all the parts in the stack (kernel, udisks2, gvfs, nautilus) worked fine with floppies, see
But it's not something I check very often and in Fedora we never automatically load floppy.ko even if the hardware is there. I'll check Monday when I'm in the office - don't have any floppy drives or disks here :-)
