While the .tright css class has a "clear:right", .tleft lacks such a "clear" declaration, so that two consecutive left-aligned images are rendered side-by-side instead of one above the other.
Fixed in r17986.
Yikes! That wasn't a bug! That was a feature, one that the Wikipedia image system depended upon (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#Wiki_markup_and_CSS). There must be some way to reclaim this functionality of having horizontally aligned images that wrap the page. Numerous Wikipedia pages have been upset by this change.
Robert, the sensible thing there would surely be to not float those images...? Certainly I would not consider it desirable behavior for floats to stack horizontally.
Let's keep this discussion to bug 8170.
