Bochs BIOS INT 0x13 Problem

I didn't want to post this on the Bochs Bugs tracker because i think it is probably my stupidity that such an obvious bug could exist so i was hoping (in all my arrogance :P) one of you could ave a look and see if i am going nuts.

Basic BIOS INT 0x13 AH 0x02 Call to read sectors from floppy disk and if the sector to read is greater than Sectors per Track count it refuses to load. This limits loading of only the first 18 sectors and seems pretty stupid to me... does anyone have this problem and if not any idea what might be wrong?

Yes, easily. I messed it up myself a lot of times and I've seen numerous others do the same.
