Comment (by nacin):

 This is a WordPress bug. I'm sorry (but not actually sorry) that the
 tooltip community has felt slighted by this one, but we won't need to make
 a change. We made a choice, and this choice on the whole benefits all
 users and readers, not just those using screenreaders. How often have you
 moused over an image on a WordPress site and saw "IMG_1234"? One of the
 lamest things ever. Never again.

 Tooltips can still be added by opening the Edit Image modal and inserting
 something into the title attribute box. The only change is that the
 "Title" field — which is the name of an image's attachment page — does not
 populate the title attribute.
