wmii treats applications

Does this mean that a managed application with a single window in 
the corresponding view will be floating the next time when it 
stores the size (fullscreen, as it was the only window) on quit 
and requests that one again on start-up?
    

If a window requests exactly screen size, it will be floating
and cover the screen (this has to be done to support
fullscreen-windows like mplayer, xpdf -fullscreen etc.).
  
   
    This doesn't seem like the correct behavior.  ion3 doesn't seem to have any problems distinguishing between the case when an application wants the full screen and when it asks for a window the size of a full screen (in which case it ignores it). 

btw. is there some place explaining what makes windows floating?
    

No, but it's simple:

A new window will be floating,
   - if it inherits the current tag AND the floating layer is focused
OR
   - if an associated ~-rule matches the windows class:instance or name
OR
   - if it has set the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint, it inherits the
     tag of the main window and will be floating
  
    But this seems to contradict what you just said above.
