I'm not sure either. But they're not uncommon in the wild.
The "subtle bugs" you mention: does that example you note only apply
to output formats that omit the captions?
The important export formats for academic writing are latex, odt, and
(less so) html, all of which do include the captions. Are there others
you are thinking of?
