Is this really a kernel bug? I have a floppy drive that does the same thing; it doesn't always notify the kernel that the media changed. I can force it with your workaround *or* by being very careful when inserting the new floppy.
Of course, if it doesn't happen with 2.0.x then it is a kernel bug. DOS never showed the problem on this system; I think it always reread the media regardless. (OS/2 did show the problem, though.)
