Me thinks this looks very much like an old Gecko-bug which make text in
the flow invade the area floats occupy - always from above. That may
explain similar behavior in Safari (old relatives).
It is definitely a bug.

I haven't paid any real attention to that bug for a couple of years,
since it hasn't bothered me, but I think it is/was even mentioned in
some CSS-Errata on the W3C site. I've also seen it in other old
bug-listings (not on Moz-site).
Might be worth a search...
