Your point is very valid, I had not considered that case -- in my case I
am inserting the horizontal line outside of a section, so this is a
caveat with the way that I worked around the issue.  

Taking your note about allowing a Graphic object to be added to
something else, I looked through the source code I have available and it
looks like Phrase might be a good place.  Specifically, the
Phrase.add(int index, Object o) method allows a GRAPHIC to be added but
the Phrase.add(Object o) does not.   I am not in a position to easily
compile the source code (I was able to implement the previous fix by
overriding some methods--I was still able to use the basic jar for my
application) to validate whether making this change would allow the
GRAPHIC to be inserted into a Phrase.

Thanks for the note of warning.

Cheers,
Steve Balthazor
