See testcase at http://www.angelblade.com/bugs/firefoxfloatbug/ with window sized to approximately 940px wide. You'll see the header overlapping the blue image. Both Chrome and Safari render correctly. This bug can commonly be seen in the wild on Wikipedia (See attached screenshot).

Except the <h2> here is not wrapped in another block... it's just overlapping the float.

And it turns out that's not needed for bug 738926.
