I don't know. My computer does not have a USB floppy drive, that's true.
It is a traditional AT-style floppy disk controller with two floppy
drives. And I can no longer reproduce the problem. Having a floppy
disk in the drive at boot time just once seems to have permanently
cured the problem. Did a udev rule get created as a result of a
"ready" floppy drive at boot time? I don't know. But I don't think
there's much point in filing a bug report if I can no longer reproduce
the problem and I don't know what cured it.
