These things have to do with the fact that captions should snap on the grid; however, you can influence things by setting the grid parameter for a float instance. More on that in details.pdf. Also the next version has a grid key in \externalfigure which can snap scaling to combinations of (height div lineheight) * lines + [0,1] * depth + [0,1] * height which in combination with the float grid options can give you whatever you want. Hans PS. Grid snapping introduced quite some border cases and a lot of effort has gone into providing control over that. An associated new feature is a yet to be documented and for the moment experimental graphic/background synchronization mechanism.
