Mike,
If you're only going to do this once or twice, I'd hide another Figure
tag in the main text flow, possibly tucking it in to a tiny text
container outside your two columns and color the font white. That'll
generate the correct figure number for your text box as if the hidden
figure was the real one.
If you're going to do it often, it'd probably be worth setting up a
custom master page to hold the figures...
