Ok, I've just tested this. It is a FAT filesystem limitation.

I've looked at this thread a number of times, but I was then and
still am puzzled.  According to "Linux in a Nutshell," by Siever, et al,
cp is a copy command that applies to files or directories, and
none of the options mentions determining the size of a file-
system or the remaining space therein.  Please advise.

It was about cp reporting 'no space left on device', whilst df said that there was space available.
