Hi Alexey,
# Yes, I tried leftpage/rightpage: this removes the blank page, but may
# cause images to be reordered (so that e. g. 3 goes before 2), which is
# completely unacceptable IMO.
Yes, you are right.
But -- I do not know why -- your code you attached gives on my computer (TL2019)
the 1-3-2 order, too.
# Also, this doesn't help with the text flow at the page where the first
# image is positioned (still no text below the image).
Is it one or two problems? I do know how to solve by some system way...
You can try the work around below, it is based on computation of additional
measures for special instance of figure.
Best wishes,
Tomáš
