That's interesting...
I did a couple of 1551 versions of games and demos and I always used that very routine to find out if the previous file (usually a short boot file) was loaded from a serial device or a 1551.
It has always worked perfectly for me (and I really tested my stuff thoroughly with various setups, eg plus/4 and 1541, plus/4 and 1551) but maybe that routine is more reliable when a file has already been loaded?
Could you name demos that crashed?
One of the earliest demos that included dedicated 1551 and 1541 loaders is probably Crown's Magic Picture Show.
Csory did many 1551 versions and Ceekay did some, too. On the real machine I never had problems with those versions crashing. Haven't tried those on emulators, yet, though.
