I believe that anchoring to a paragraph is the same as anchoring to the 
first character in the paragraph. If you anchor to a character, then you 
can be certain that it will be on the same page as the character. 
Consider a few operations.

Merge two paragraphs:

BEFORE:
par 1
[ANCHOR] par 2


AFTER:
[ANCHOR] par 1 par 2

If I am anchored to a paragraph, if I insert two pages of text to the 
front of my paragraph, the frame will not move because the location of 
the first character in the paragraph did not move. The same is not true 
if the frame is anchored to a specific character.

I have no idea, off hand, how to anchor a frame to a specific character; 
but if I was creative, I could probably figure it out!
