> Looking at my test file a bit more closely, it appears that an image only splits if the column height is too short to fit the image height. That makes more sense to me, as there isn't an available place to fit the entire image so we give up and slice it apart. If the next column is tall enough, it does get pushed there.

Yeah, that's the intended behavior. For floats we may want to have similar behavior, i.e., be willing to paginate it if it can't fit (and then do good slicing), but try to keep it together otherwise.

Note that moving a float can have severe consequences, since when a float moves, the line it originated on moves with it. This is an important heuristic we have to keep working for iBooks.
