It may be different today, but in the past FloppyEmu supported only 512 bytes per block. This is good for Macintosh, but a Lisa needs 520 resp. 532 bytes. These extra bytes ("tags") are used to manage the file system structure (preceding block, next block, ...). I have asked for Lisa/520 byte support in the BMOW comments section some time ago, but Steve saw no need for this. Maybe in the future?
