Update:
I tried to reproduce the bug according to the original bug post, 
At step 3 it finishes loading, and indeed it mounts the floppy, according to mtab, but it desn't show the contens, subsequent tries to mount result in multiple /media/floppy_x folders, and multiple /dev/fd0 mounts:
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy-9 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=0,utf8,shortname=lower)
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy-10 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=0,utf8,shortname=lower)
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy-11 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=0,utf8,shortname=lower)
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy-12 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=0,utf8,shortname=lower)

Accesing the floppy contens from the media:/ folder is impossible.
The floppy contens is being mounted on all the /media/floppy_x folder shown by mtab. but media:/ seems unaware of the place where the floppy is mounted.
(I wonder if media:/ doesn't want to display /media/floppy_label but floppy is mounted in another place . . .)

Floppy manipulation works as expected with a .desktop file and a fstab entry. The .desktop file is being updated on the floppy status, while the icon from media:/floppy always remains unaware of floppy mount status.
