The unbreakable applies only to the object itself. Are you using FOP or DBLatex?
If you are using FOP, you would need the dbfo-need processing instruction applied to the paragraph preceding the image. This processing instruction would inform FOP that more space is needed after the paragraph but on the same page. FOP does not support this processing instruction yet, so you are out of luck here. I cannot comment on DBLatex.
