Comment:

 This maybe a duplicate of ticket #15926: Add alt attribute support for
 Custom Header functionality.
 Adding an alt="" if there is no alt given is, to my opinion, not a good
 idea, since the header image is in some themes also the link to the home
 page.
 How to add a meaningful alt attribute is discussed in ticket #15926. And
 using the _wp_attachment_image_alt is a good one to add to the discussion.
