Yes we should, because of uniformity.
It is very confusing for the user to see the systems behaviour
change in mysterious, unpredictable ways.

Moreover, I often use floppies or CF cards etc as transport medium
between machines. Even when a serial number allows one to conclude
that this really is the same floppy, one cannot conclude that the
contents is still the same.

No, media change is media change. Trying to recognize media
that we saw earlier is a bad idea.
