People who have suspected that you expect "tooltip" behavior may well be 
right, and in that case this isn't a CSS issue at all. But "rare" suggests 
to me that you might in fact have a situation where the ALT attribute value 
is just not visible in the case where it is supposed to appear, namely when 
the image is not displayed.

In that case, you just need to check the background and color properties for 
the IMG element. By default, the background is transparent and the color is 
inherited from the parent. So if something just sets background for IMG to 
black without setting its color, then there will be black text on black 
background. However, on IE, one normally sees the "broken image" icon 
anyway.

There's a fairly old treatise on such issues:

As usual, a URL of the problem page would be worth a thousand words.
