When an image has CSS specified background, the alt text and icon are no longer
shown in the placeholder during page load.

I think this is a regression caused by fix to bug 61217 and background being
painted on top of alt text and icon.

alt text, icon and placeholder are all not visible.

This becomes problematic when the image is used as a link. Since the link itself
is not visible, you have to wait for the entire page to load, until you can
navigate further, and this really slows the browsing down on dialup.

Could this be approved for 1.4b?  Just makes image alt text be painted as part
of the foreground, not part of the background.
