Your testcase is the opposite of mine.

This (your testcase):
 a { text-decoration:none}
 img { text-decoration:underline;border:0}
works as expected (link not underlined, alt text underlined)

This (approximately mine):
 a { text-decoration:underline}
 img { text-decoration:none;border:0}
does NOT work, alt text gets underlined.

It seems my bug description was incorrect, in fact when the <a> element has
text-decoration: underline (which is the default behaviour with an <a> element
with an href attribute), the alt text can't remove the underline.
text-decoration: overline works as text-decoration: overline underline.

Yeah, I'm seeing the problem now.
I'm not sure what the correct behaviour should be though.

I guess this is a dupe of bug 193584 (see comment 3 + follow ups)
