That is strange, as it actually should not work (it still doesn't for me
with your code).  However, I had made a mistake in my original post as I
meant to have the minipage environment inside the floating figure
environment in the output, as in:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{FILE_PATH}
    \caption{\label{ORG_LABEL}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer
      adipiscing elit.}
  \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

which does compile fine.  Apologies for the confusion this may have
caused.

The previous post by Juan Manuel did provide a neat solution, which I'll
be tweaking to implement this as I never need captions running across
the whole page for figures using much less.
