I always hated keepWith next; this is a bug as presumably we shouldn't. Are you 
really trying to keep a paragraph and a Drawing together? If so I think you need 
to use some other kind of container as Drawings are normally particularly nasty 
about what things can be set on them. Now fixed in SVN (or perhaps a different 
bug is introduced)
