But it really is: 

 like a footnote, the float *definition* can be inside a
 paragraph while the *output* is moved to a different place by the tex
 engine.
 
You can even see the difference:

* when you put the float inset into its own paragraph, the following
  text is indented (or separated by vspace), as it starts a new paragraph.
  
OTOH, lists (like itemize) are by default nested inside surrounding
paragraph (in the LaTeX source) while separate paragraphs in LyX. 
You need to insert a "--- Separator ---" or another empty
paragraph to have the first paragraph after a list indented.
