Bounding Box text wrap fine as long as I don't anchor object?

The vast majority of the images in my project are anchored and centered on the page and use object styles with "jump object" text wrapping. However, there are a few images I'd like to place to the side of the page with "wrap around bounding box" text wrapping. As long as I don't anchor the image to text, this seems to work fine, pushing text around the bounding box to the left or right or wherever I decide. But once I get it looking correct, I try to anchor the object to a position in the text, and the text wrapping no longer works. The text returns to where it was pre-wrap, and the image covers the text. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Idiosyncratic, yes, but anchor image frames in an empty paragraph return above the paragraph you want the text wrap to affect. Or else anchor the graphic frame somewhere in the text of the paragraph above the paragraph you want the wrap to affect.
