I'd say that's a problem of the level in this case.

It would be a bug if you're not able to change them into floater while in 
pause mode. In fact it's even a listed item in our buglist that you may do 
too much while in pause mode - in this case, change the faller into floater.
On the other hand, catching all the fallers to turn them into floaters isn't 
something I'd want to do. Maybe the maximal falling depth was higher when the 
level was designed.
