This is something different, concerning the [H]-option (from float.sty), which is also not allowed in wide floats (it is disabled with wide floats, this is still the case). From the tug-FAQ: The "*"ed float environments can only appear at the top of a page, or on a whole page - h or b float placement directives are simply ignored. (http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=widefigs) So there is at least no harm in the current behaviour. But we should probably make this transparent to the user. Juergen.
