you, being a mathematician, should not dismiss this too fast as being a  coincident -) it's expected behaviour, imagine that you have two side floats ... 

you can tell the float handler to forget about the sidefloat state by saying

\placefigure
  [inright,reset]
  [fig:graphmap]
  {A mapping diagram for $f$.}
  {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\marginwidth]}

(low level commands are \forgetsidefloats etc)
