Thanks. I downloaded the latest and tried again. It is very
much faster. It also only found 8 bad sectors (hmm...). But
the very same IO error occurred.

So, where do I need to report the problem?

DOSEMU. It cannot and has never been able to format floppies, to be precise, BIOS int13/ah=5 is not implemented.

Try a Linux tool, e.g. superformat.
