Is it really necessary to remove also frame?

My test case: three images with captions. First is Illustration 1, second is 
Drawing 1 and third is Illustration 2. I have removed Drawing 1 caption inside 
frame; only text, image and frame was still there. Then I selected image and 
added "Illustration" caption. Effect: first image had Illustration 1, second 
Illustration 2 and third Illustration 3.
Then I inserted fourth image and it had caption Illustration 4.

It seems to be desired behavior, although my test case was so simple, I might 
have missed something important here (again :( ).
