Image floats and itemizedlists

Hi,
I've recently run into a problem with image floats. Previously, I had
some text, followed by an itemizedlist (with bullets), with an image
floating on the right. Then, I changed the image so that it floats on
the left. However, the itemizedlist will not "float" to the right of the
image: in the PDF, the first item in the list appears after the bottom
of the image. Regular "para" text wraps around the image nicely. 

Any ideas as to what may be causing this anomaly? I currently do not
have anything related to itemizedlists in my customization layer, so it
is just the default docbook styling.

Thanks,

Ellen
