no @image at start of paragraph

The texinfo manual states that an @image can be in "anywhere, including
the middle of a paragraph".  However, makeinfo 6.0 doesn't allow @image to begin
a paragraph.

For example:

    @image{screenshot-1}
    This image shows xyz.

or even:

    @image{screenshot-1}This image shows xyz.

Is treated the same as:

    @image{screenshot-1}

    This image shows xyz.

I.e. the same as if the @image were followed by a blank line.

Hence in the generated html the resulting <img> is *before* the <p>,
not inside it.  The same problem happens with --docbook.

I worked around it with empty dummy text:

    @emph{}
    @image{screenshot-1}
    This image shows xyz.

Is there a better work-around? Is this a texinfo bug?

Having the image at the start of the paragraph enables floating images
with with css rules like:

img { float: right }
p { overflow: auto}

An example of what I'm trying to achieve is here:

(This uses the --docbook backend and then uses sed to wrap a link
around the scaled-down image.)
