re: "if they told you that a paper punch would solve the problem, they

very many widgets, would they!?  I AM GOING TO TRY THIS TONIGHT!!"

My Percom SSDD drive (RFD-40) has the same characteristic:  it takes more
than a notch to enable formatting the back of a floppy.  You have to punch
an additional start-of-track sensor hole on both faces of the floppy
jacket.  To mark the position of the hole, I use a template consisting of
another floppy, placed back-to-back with the floppy I want to "fix".

Also, I insert a bit of tissue inside the jacket through the hub hole to
protect the floppy surface from being scratched by the hole punch.
