 understand what the intent is for the alt to pick up in this case.

 It's definitely not ideal, from an accessibility standpoint, but, it does
 appear to be consistent with the way other "Insert Media" events occur.
 Currently, WordPress is set up to look at the alt field first, then
 fallback to the title or caption to use as the alt attribute for the image
 if the alt field is blank.
