Comment (by alastc):

 I second this bug, and would suggest that it will be easier to deal with
 if there were less options when adding images.

 Currently there are both title and 'caption' inputs when adding an image
 through the new uploader. I would suggest that unless there's a strong
 use-case I'm not aware of, that there is only one short-description input,
 i.e. ditch caption.

 I wrote it up here:

 /#interface-changes

 In short, if there is only one, it can be used for the alt for the gallery
 (with less confusion). If you really must have a title, duplicate it, but
 personally I don't see the need?

 If the 'caption' is shown visibly, make the alt null.

 Providing the ability to add alternative text is a big deal, and something
 that Wordpress does (too?) well, and stands the app in good stead for ATAG
 (the authoring tool accessibility guidelines). However, this is not
 currently reflected in the output of the gallery.
