So the display:table immediately around the float is necessary.  Note that if
you insert a table-cell in there (like the second link), the problem goes away.
 It looks like the frame model gets a little confused and then the presshell
gets confused as to what's in what line....

The patch in bug 233094 seems to fix this.
