copied a file to it by dragging from one Nautilus window to another
Then I tried to unmount the floppy and got an error that the device (/media/floppy) was busy.
Did you still have the two nautilus windows open when you attempted to unmount the floppy? If you still have a window open and in the floppy directory or if you have a terminal session in a mounted directory, you will not be able to unmount the device. This to me would explain why your steps work some of the time, and not others.
thinking back...
I closed the window that was open to the floppy, but not the other. Of course that one was open to the directory of the file that I dragged onto the floppy.
BINGO!
Next time I will close it too....
