If something is positioned in this way - known as “in line” - then it’s fixed in the text flow. You can reposition it, but you do so in the context of the flow of text. You can’t drag it elsewhere on the page. It just won“t work.
This is much the same as if you had images in Pages or Word that are set to follow the flow of the text. They are embedded in the content.
The behaviour you see - with it jumping around - is something I see when I’m working on responsive sites (which are built primarily using this in line method). It seems that just clicking on an item with my Magic Mouse can cause it to be repositioned in the flow if a touch/drag event is detected. These touch/drag events seem very sensitive, and Freeway will respond by throwing the object around, sometimes causing a reflow which is very dramatic. If you manage to trigger two of these events in quick succession, the one undo can rapidly become a source of immense frustration.
So, sadly, yes. Normal behaviour as far as I can tell. I’ve not really come across a solution, other than being very careful with how your use the mouse, and saving often so that Revert to Save can return you to at least a condition that you can try again from.
