OK, I have now modified image placement in LaTeX.

1. Image in text

   [[./img/x.png]]

2. Floating image with caption and modified size and placement

   #+CAPTION: My caption
   #+ATTR_LATEX: placement=[H] width=0.6\textwidth
   [[./img/x.png]]

3. Wrapping text around the image

   #+ATTR_LaTeX: wrap
   #+ATTR_HTML: align="left"
   [[./img/x.png]]

4. Wrapping text around the image with modified size and wrapfigure  
placement

   #+ATTR_LaTeX: wrap width=0.38\textwidth placement={r}{0.4\textwidth
   #+ATTR_HTML: align="right" width="250"
   [[./img/x.png]]

Even if there is a caption, wrap will work and force the
image to be non-floating with text wrapped around.

Comments?

P.S. if you have customized org-export-latex-classes, you might have  
to undo, then redo this customization, or add the float and wrapfigure  
environments by hand
to all classes you want to use.
