Comment:

 I was testing this to look at adding a patch but it seems to have been
 fixed already in trunk. I couldn't find another ticket that deals with it
 but if you look at the wp_get_attachment_image() function, it already has
 the alt info added with a couple fallbacks. It adds the alt correctly to
 the gallery code correctly as far as I could tell.
 {{{
 $default_attr = array(
         'src'   => $src,
         'class' => "attachment-$size",
         'alt'   => trim(strip_tags( get_post_meta($attachment_id,
 '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true) )), // Use Alt field first
         'title' => trim(strip_tags( $attachment->post_title )),
 );
 if ( empty($default_attr['alt']) )
         $default_attr['alt'] = trim(strip_tags( $attachment->post_excerpt
 )); // If not, Use the Caption
 if ( empty($default_attr['alt']) )
         $default_attr['alt'] = trim(strip_tags( $attachment->post_title
 )); // Finally, use the title
 }}}
