In short, image captions are buggy. Trying to automate such complex CSS formatting is not coming easy :). However, in my testing, for the most part, captions are pretty solid and there's not much more I can think of at the moment to make them more reliable. I'll continually keep their bugginess in mind and work to make them better.

In the meantime, just go ahead and use them. Sometimes they will "swallow" surrounding text that they're not supposed to. Sometimes if you link an image, the caption will disappear even though the title attribute is present. All I can say is highlight the image in the body, hit the delete key, and try again. I've been able to get the buggy ones working again just by doing that.

An odd tip: When you insert an image with a caption, if it makes a little line break space that's not supposed to be there, don't worry about it and just leave it there. Sometimes if you delete it, it will cause a bug with the caption. ??? After you save the node that extra space will be gone because I parse the code with an HTML corrector.
