End tags for <p> elements are optional in HTML. <div> elements may not
include <p> elements. So opening a div implies closing the
paragraph. Therefore you code means the same as:

<p></p>
<div class="p_right"></div>
</p>

and you are closing a paragraph that isn't open. This is not a bug in
the validator.
