Thanks Alan, this looks like a good analysis of this bug. For the cases when the float height is a factor I think that the trigger is simply when "the bottom of the float is below the bottom margin edge of the other element" (is not stricly necessary to have the height of the float greater than the margin-bottom value.) Interesting is the last case of your second series (div before the float) where a padding bottom on the wrapper prevents the margin replication (btw, in this series the problem goes away if the clear is inside the wrapper.)
