Available in CVS right now.  

Alternatively now that inline frames are available, you can create a new
frame, place an inline picture in the frame and then the "caption" of
the picture after the inline frame.  This way, both the picture and the
caption can be moved in one text frame.

Also available in CVS.

You can get reported wishlist items at bugs.kde.org.  If you are able to
download the CVS version, and get it to compile on BSD (I have not tried
recently), then I think all of the problems above should be fixed by
now. 

Good Luck, and let me know if I can help.
