You can make a customization that is a strict subset of DocBook (and
therefore your instances are DocBook) that prohibits them.
There are three schools of thought on this issue:
1. Figures (and other block-ish) things should appear in paras.
2. Figures should not appear in paras.
3. Figures should appear in paras only if they are part of the paragraph
from a semantic point of view.
I tend to prefer 3 myself, but I've been authoring toward 2 most of
the time because HTML takes position 2.

I think the release that I'll make tonight or tomorrow morning fixes
this problem. It's related to the broken ToC issue.
Be seeing you,
