Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I still fail to see the point in add a non-empty alt text for images that
 are merely redundant with a nearby field that actually gets displayed. :-|

 It's like... for an image with no caption, fine. But for an image with a
 caption given by the user, it feels grossly unneeded. Or then, a mere
 __("Image").
