Comment (by iandunn):

 What's happening is that the images are floated, so they're not calculated
 when the browser determines the height of the containing paragraph. So,
 even though the paragraphs are already blocking, their heights are set to
 the height of the text, rather than the text + the image. That's what
 causes them to wrap the way they are. Setting `overflow: auto` triggers
 something in the browser to makes it recognize the image as part of the
 content of the container, so that the height gets set correctly.

 More details about that vs `clear` are at http://www.sitepoint.com/simple-
 clearing-of-floats/

 CSS isn't my strong-suit, though, so I'm happy to be corrected.
