Anyone who has read many e-books must be accustomed to those occasional short pages, just as he is accustomed to the occasional short line (much to be preferred IMHO to the wild hyphenating that is sometimes used to justify lines). I think that to begin a caption on a page without an image would confuse more people than it would help.
That said, I often try to work caption information into the preceding paragraph, to avoid situations where the image appears at the bottom of the page and the caption is forced to the next page. An image without caption information is more mysterious than caption information without an image, at least in the way I use images as illustrations for the text.

The reference to figure 1 mentioned the image, not the caption and text after Figure 1 was not the caption either. The caption should be kept with the image.
