This has been fixed upstream long ago, somewhere - if
memory serves me right - before 1.0 version, where
whole block change mechanism has been reviewed/refreshed.
Please try a more recent version and if this problem is
still there, please reopen this bugreport.
Maybe you can work around this by using some equivalent of
"eject" command in the guest, to flush its cache - this is
the only issue here, that the guest caches content of the
(virtual) disk without noticing that the disk has changed.
Another alternative workaround might be to use some other
storage which allows larger data, such as a CD-ROM image.
Note that floppy emulation is on a low priority nowadays -
since very few developers has access to systems which
actually require floppy access, or hardware with actual
floppy drive to test.
Thanks,
