My first thought was "just make the environment do it", thinking that
this was of of the origpub macros.

Another thought is to forbid use of floating figures immediately after
section headers.  That would be a bit of an ugly change, but much easier
to maintain against changing LaTeX versions.

I am mostly working on code, so now is a good time for invasive changes
like this, but I do want to avoid the current change just resulting in
the need for many future changes.  Especially given differences between
different formatting options.  ;-)
