 It's (mostly) a bug :)

 The problem is that the "wrapper tag" for the image with caption has to be
 selected and copied. Then it will retain the caption. Same for dragging it
 to the desired place inside the editor.

 There is a workaround: click on the image, then look at the bottom of the
 editor at the "element path" (to see it you need to open the second
 toolbar row). It should look like:
 {{{
 div » dl » dt » img
 }}}

 Clicking on the `div` will select everything. Then copy and paste.

 Can try to improve this. If it is non-editable, clicking on the image
 should select the wrapper tags too.
