mounting a floppy disk as ordinary user does not work under KDE

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  0. Make sure you are in the floppy group.
  1. Open a KDE session.
  2. { sudo mkdir /media/floppy; }
  3. Place the following line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto user,noauto  0 0
  4. Insert a valid floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
  5. { mount /dev/fd0; }
  6. { mount | grep '^/dev/fd0'; }
Actual Results:  
  6. Nothing: /dev/fd0 is not mounted.

Expected Results:  
  6. /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy …

  1. mount without KDE works as prescribed.
  2. mount without mentioning /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab works 
     (only as superuser, which is not a solution).
  3. If a floppy disk is mounted before KDE loads, it remains mounted.
  4. Workaround: { udisks --mount /dev/fd0; }
  5. Floppy is gone from Dolphin’s Places, 
     not recognized by the Device Notifier and not mountable by solid-hardware.
