Details

A tooltip with the img alt text is not shown on linux nb 2001050121.
The reason for this is that the HTML 4.0 spec fairly explicitly says that ALT
text is _not_ to be shown in tooltips.  Use the TITLE attribute if you want a
tooltip.  Use ALT for real honest-to-God alternate text.

This is not a bug.  This is the intended behavior.

Verified, although I'm pretty sure we have a more detailed bug on it with more 
debate (or maybe I'm thinking of 1994).
