Divbox and Pullquote don't get along well. Here's what happens when I write some reasonable wiki code:

{{Divbox|yellow|{{Pullquote|Pretend something witty is written here.|Iritscen}}}}

So, although it works, it's only by a hack that the two templates get along together even partially.

Questions that need answering:

  1. Why do I need to declare that the quote text is the third parameter with "3="?
  2. Why does some bum text need to be inserted (here I've used "<br>") before the data returned by Pullquote?
  3. Why does using Pullquote inside of Divbox break Divbox's "width" parameter?
Because pullquote has its own width...Gumby

#3 is of the most concern to me, followed by #2. I suspect that the fact that Pullquote actually returns table code is part of the problem behind all this.
