The FloppyEmu does indeed work with the Lisa 2/5 and Lisa Lite adapter. However, you’ll have to downgrade the firmware on the FEMU to lisa-emu-1.0S7-F11 to get it working. Steve is now aware something changed when he consolidated the various firmwares into a single ‘fat’ release, but hasn’t worked out the issue just yet. No worries - downgrading the firmware worked fine for me and others so far.

I also wrote the creator of the Floppy Emu about this problem. I have an Apple Lisa 2, with the profile drive. My Lisa works perfectly. I can tell you that the Floppy Emu does not work with the Lisa Lite card. The creator, who sold it saying it works with "Apple Lisa," also directed me here.  I purchased my Floppy Emu about 6 months ago. So, I know Stephen knows that this is a problem. So, I don't know why he has not updated his selling page to explain that it will not work with the Lisa 2/5.

I used a Floppy Emu on my 2/10 to help develop my floppy bootloader, which makes use of the tag bytes (it requires them to work at all). The caveat is that I've had the Floppy Emu for a perhaps a year or even a year and a half now, and I've never updated the firmware since installing it.

So Floppy Emu certainly supported tag bytes at some point. If there has been a firmware update in the past twelve months or so, though, it might not support them any longer.

I'd tell you the firmware version I'm using now, but my 2/10 is out of service for a video board recap. Hopefully it will be a success, and I can check again soon.

I too have bought a Floppy Emu rev B to use on my Lisa 2, I can make it work on a Macintosh Classic but have the same issue with trying to use it on my Lisa 2/5, I have written to Stephen Chamberlin and he has directed me to this group to see if anyone else is having the same problem, My Lisa is fully working with working 400K floppy drive so the problem would seem to be with the Floppy Emu

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?
