That certainly would explain the phenomenon, and fits my understanding of CSS. Bummer.

I'm guessing that the sidebar has been implementing using a floating div, which is one of the typical methods for implementing table-less columnar layouts. But one of the downsides to that approach is that there's not an easy way to clear below one floating element but not another. (I.e., HTML+CSS doesn't really have a way to say "clear below this element" -- it's either "clear below all elements" or nothing.) There _is_ a way to set up skins so that the [[<<]] won't skip below floating sidebar content, but I'm not familiar with the details. I've always simply used tables because those tend to work everywhere without too much hassle.
