I did a quick search on "floppy" and found the following relevant looking bugs.

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=10828
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=10959
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=10870
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=13632
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=15486
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=14590

I wouldn't bother logging another floppy mount bug until these are fixed. 
Also, the original problem in this case might have been caused by not using hfsutils to mount a HFS floppy.
