I've never seen this issue before (though I really rarely use floppy disks
with Falcon emulation). I just gave it a quick try, but I did not encounter
the issue. Could you maybe provide some more detailed instructions on how to
reproduce the problem?

- How did you create the floppy disk image? Via Hatari's dialog?

Definitely.

 

- What's the geometry of the disk? (single/double sided? HD? Sectors?

  Tracks?)

The defaults in Hatari.

 

- Do you have any AUTO start programs or ACCs? If so, could you please
  also try without them?

Nope, nothing.

 

- Can you give an example on how to create such a floppy, e.g. copy these
  and that contents of a ZIP file to the disk, then it should happen with
  this and that file on the disk...

I have just tried it, see the attached archive:

- executed the script

- enabled A:

- created a blank disk image

- enabled GEMDOS HD

- reset

- copied some stuff from C:, basically it stopped on the first file

As I said, sometimes it's not obvious when you try just a couple of files but when I'm about to copy a folder from a hard disk (emulated or not), it shows.
