That will be because dosbox's floppy hardware emulation isn't 100% when you mount a folder as floppy.
A bit (little bit, yes) the same as when you mount a folder as CD drive in stead of an image.

...... somewhere yes, but the decision to retrieve that function wasn't mine, I only pointed to some problems with the multiple floppy mount in the days I did some dosbox compatibilty testruns. (Mainly for Data).
So the dosbox devs (again, I'm not part of that group) decided to retrieve it.
