I mean, if you test one of the above test cases, you see the 'some text'
text starts on top of the last letter of 'table cell' or 'div text' text
(depending which test case).
If I turn on DEBUG_LAYOUT/FLOAT_DEBUG/BOX_DEBUG, I see that the float is
rendered twice, one correct and one with an xoffset of 10 too much.
If you extend the height of surrounding text, eg. add '<br>more text..'
after 'some text', its rendered correctly.

So what?

IMO those close tags are optional, see
