\floatstyle{plain}
\newfloat{simulation}{ht}{los}[chapter]
\floatname{simulation}{\bfseries Interactive lab}

Note that there are two small, related problems: first, the colon is missing after the numbers and second the entire caption is set in bold instead of only floatname plus the counters.
It seems like lateXML is dropping a couple of closing characters after the counters and prematurely continues processing the rest of the caption. This should be easy to fix but unfortunately I did not succeed so far.
