Comment (by davehope):

 I also encountered this problem if a line break in not inserted before the
 caption/image. Wordpress generates some code like this:


 {{{
 Consider the below photo taken in center-weighted metering mode.
 [caption id="attachment_223" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption
 ="Center-weighted metering sample"]<img src="http://slrschool.net/wp-
 content/uploads/2011/08/Center-Weighted-Metering.jpg" alt="Center-weighted
 metering sample" title="Center-Weighted Metering" width="500" height="331"
 class="size-full wp-image-223" />[/caption]
 }}}

 Which results in a <p> tag, my text followed by a <br/> tag and then the
 <div> etc.

 By adding a line break after by text, before the [caption..] the xhtml is
 not malformed.
