Commenting from a bystander's perspective:
I believe that nautilus does not automaticaly eject/unmount
floppies. I've had cases where I mounted a cd or floppy, and
logged out without telling nautilus to unmount the media.
Every time that I logged in after that, nautilus tried to
restore the connection to the media.
The easiest fix was to make sure to unmount media by hand before
logging out of a workstation. The less-easy fix was to rip out
the appropriate XML lines from the places where nautilus was
keeping track of which media had been mounted.
*Everybody* is going to forget to unmount floppies when they log
out, so this will probably be a common issue.
