This is TeX default behaviour, top alignment means the baseline of the first
line is aligned (which is what you usually want with text lines and
mathematical formula. (The same happens to minipages side-by-side, this is
why aligning the top of figures-side-by-side in a float is difficult.)

Unfortunately not really. I once had the problem and did a terrible hack with
invisible rectangles (\raisebox). It works at the end, but you need to
know|define the hight of the graphic and insert it in a ERT command and do a
lot of fine-tuning...
