This is exactly my point. If clicking the floppy icon if Gnome "called" udisks the very same way the command "udisks --mount /dev/fd0" does, this bug would be fixed. This could either be addressed in udisks itself (to make the two types of invocations behave the same way) or Gnome (to issue a call that is in behavior identical to the command that is working properly).
