I haven't looked too carefully, but for Gecko it may be related to this bug [1]. Essentially when they position the third image (inline inside a not floated paragraph) they only look at the first float to decide how to displace it. But since it vertically clashes with the second float they should take that second float into account as well. BTW, the problem also shows up with simple text (when using suitable dimensions). See this test case [2]: the non-floated text partially overlaps the second float (change font-size if necessary to make the problem more evident.)
