I'm pretty sure this is by design on standards-mode web pages.

So you think that ignoring the images dimensions when they are disabled is good
idea? In this case all spaces will not works either, this is showed on link i gave.

This is in fact by-design.  In standards mode, when an image cannot be loaded
(say because images are disabled) the alt text is shown instead, as plain text.
 That's the rendering the HTML specification effectively requires.
