The way you're doing it is correct.

I don't know.  Perhaps it was a bug.  It's doesn't happen with the
latest code.

With the latest Docutils code, your example text is processed to HTML
as:

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Nullam in sem. Cras eget lorem.</p>
<p align="center"><img align="center"
alt="http://www.lipsum.org/images/lorem.gif" class="bordered"
src="http://www.lipsum.org/images/lorem.gif" /></p>
<p>Nulla et sem a erat posuere pellentesque.
Nulla id sem a enim volutpat semper. Sed vitae leo.</p>

So the solution seems to be, please get the latest Docutils code.
