I may have misunderstood the reporter. I thought this was a case of a program waiting to detect when a new floppy is inserted and then working automatically when it is; that would imply it's telling the operating system something different from just "read the file on disk". If that were the case then in theory Wine could respect that system call
Windows doesn't have such a notification. See e.g. Raymond Chen: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2009/04/02/9528175.aspx
Whether or not you have to umount/mount the floppy is up to the distribution, and unrelated to the whether notification occurs when a floppy change happens.
Even if such a notification existed in the distribution, there's no corresponding notification you could send in Wine that would change the Windows program's behavior, as there's no Windows signal that a floppy change has in fact occurred.
