The script was present when I previewed the post. Had it between <raw></raw> tags.

The text being displayed was xhtml stripped of everything that wasn't needed as it was being displayed in a field using the htmltext property.
So the images were <a img=...> tags which LC interprets as a CHARACTER replacement. Hence my putting a <p></p> around the <a img...> to ensure the image was on a line by itself to ensure I had the full field width for display. 
As it is a character replacement, as far as a field is concerned, the 'fixed line height' needs to be false or the height of any image will be whatever line height setting the field has.

Text wrap around is not possible using this method as the image is being treated as a character by the field. Indeed I am not aware of any way to have this just happen. Text fields in LC do an awful lot of things but not that.  For the case you mention, a bit like a pictorial drop cap, it could be fudged with three fields but it would require you to know the size of the image and then split the text into a first line (with image) then the lines to take you to the end of the image, displayed in a second field placed appropriately and finally the rest of the text in a third field from the bottom of the other two.
Messy. Also would not be able to select text across these lines at the top across the fields.
