I can confirm tht this ishappening on my computer also. Same results. Same steps to reproduce
My floppy drive doesn't seem to be detected either. Sorry, can't confirm if this happened after an update, or if it occurred on the initial version I bought from On-Disk.com (around July 10 20060.
I can confirm that this happens on my comp. This bug is still present with hal 0.5.7.1-2.fc5 and kernel kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp
I can confirm it is happening with kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 on an X86_64 Dell Precision 670 system and a Dell Optiplex GX620 with FC6 test3.
I can confirm that on our systems with x86_64 Athlon64 with Board Tomcat K8E-SLI (S2866) and hal-0.5.7.1-2.fc5 the floppy drive in nautilus in 'Computer' still is not shown.
it looks like this hasnt been fixed in fc6t3 :( i think the best way to make floppy drive work is to add it to fstab...
fstab doesn't work.
Add to /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 Then point an icon at it adn click.
this bug seems to be fixed in fc6 and without editing the fstab. however the floppy entry does not appear in gnome menu but only in nautilus (computer:///)

For me, it works on Fedora Core 6 (tested). For newer Fedora versions I have not tested it, I will do it, but I don't remember any problems with floppy. I think this bug report can be closed (fixed in newer version).
thanks for your update. closing
