I took a look now.  It seems the paragraph text in the captions (with
the sequencing operations) is somehow getting evaluated later (for
all figures) than the instructions to bump the chapter number up.

I can't see any harm in your fix so have just committed this -
although I haven't fully understood why the problem is happening.
