Right, but even after remount seemingly succeeds, an attempt to write to an unwritable media should return an error nevertheless, as the corresponding syscall should fail, obviously. And it indeed happens for e.g. CDROM or an NFS volume (if you repeat all the steps from my original post, "touch" will return an error). Yet for floppy, it doesn't. I suspect that a "readonly-ness" is defined at a different level for floppy (e.g. status of the device itself, not media). This is just a wild guess.
