Already discussed in IRC, but for the records:

The floppy device does not have a volume node, only a storage node, since the
actual floppy disk is not discovered by hotplug. So if libhal_volume_from_udi(
hal_ctx, udi ) returns NULL, pmount-hal should check if it is a storage device,
and also check storage.no_partitions_hint = true.

In Hoary this works since gnome-vfs directly called pmount instead of pmount-hal
(which does not respect device labels, and such).
