All of this having been said, I would personally opt for the less 
elegant method of creating an empty frame over the image + caption and 
then text flow around that frame.

Similarly, even when you have some irregularly shaped collection of 
objects to text flow around, it is often a much quicker task to create 
two or more empty frames to accomplish what you need.
