Comment (by glendaviesnz):

 Thanks for reporting this @linux4me2. Because the Gallery block is now
 using nested Image blocks it is mimicking the current behaviour of Image
 blocks, which is to include the alt text and caption from the media
 library the first time the Image is selected, but for additional edits,
 the alt text or caption in the block becomes the source of truth so won't
 be overwritten.

 This is intended behaviour, and there is some background discussion about
 this decision
