This definitely affects me also. I am using unetbootin on a regular basis to write an ISO built with SUSE Studio as a Live CD to an USB Stick and if I forget to format the USB Stick before, then sometimes there is no space left but unetbootin does not complain. My ISO is about 4GB big and some files stay the same between different versions while some files do change. Anyway in my case there should be no problem in calculating the size needed to write the ISO to the USB Stick as my ISO is local, so no need to download anything extra of an unknown size.
