--- Comment #2 from Brad Jorsch <[email protected]> ---
This is the expected behavior according to the CSS standard,[1] and has nothing
to do with MediaWiki.

The CSS standard says that the top edge of any float cannot be above the top
edge of any other float (in the same block formatting context) that occurs
earlier in the HTML source; it makes no difference which side they are floated
to. What's happening there is that the right-floated {{WesternBuddhism}} box is
pushed down by the right-floated infobox, and therefore the left-floated image
that occurs later in the page's HTML source cannot be positioned in the
rendered page higher than the top of that pushed-down {{WesternBuddhism}} box.

There's nothing that could be done in MediaWiki generally to work around this,
even if we were so inclined. But various wikitext-level workarounds are
documented at enwiki's WP:BUNCH.[2]
