Does it reproduce? Were you modding a world's raws post-generation?

It reproduces occasionally with newly generated worlds from scratch (medium region), with the modification made to the global raws before world gen. It doesn't happen very often, though.

Also, the one time that I tried actually embarking when it was available, one of my dwarfs was wearing it, and it instantly dissolved into a cloud of juice vapor, which gave the dwarf and a horse fevers.

Oh, also, I changed it so that every underground creature and plant starts at cavern depth 1, which might make a difference.

Cave floaters have 'skin' made out off the gas that holds the creature together.

^^^ That's not how those tags work (or are supposed to work, anyway). The TISSUE tag isn't subordinate to the USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE tag. They're only linked by TISSUE_MATERIAL, and in this case, TISSUE:GAS uses POD_JUICE while TISSUE:POD uses SKIN. So it's very weird for the leather to end up being made of pod juice.

The problem is that cave floaters do not define a LEATHER material, so tanning a cave floater skin will yield a piece of "leather" made from the first defined material, which happens to be POD_JUICE.

Good catch. That's 0001556.
