Ah, I think that now I remember why those two cases doesn't have a
clearer after the block: It is because it also was also rendered like
that in the "old" table variant (table is "floated" left or right)! This
makes it possible to have short texts and alternating images left and
right without having large gaps between the text blocks. Something like
that is possible:

+-----+
| img |  Text for block #1 with img-left, ends here.
| img |                                     +-----+
| img |  Text for block #2 (img-right)      | img |
+-----+                                     | img |
Text for next block continues here and goes | img |
goes on...                                  +-----+
and on... and on... and on... and on... and on...
and on...

Of course having two img-left images will break if text is short. But
then the editor can choose in-text-nowrap...
