Relevant to the content? From your own list of resources the alt attribute "should be a textual alternative for the meaning of the image". It has no more relevance to the content than the image itself, and as the image's purpose is to show the user that the wheelchair is a symbol for accessibility (with further advisory explanation from the title element), then I believe the above example is perfectly valid.
It would be true if this was a page explaining symbols. As it stands, though, the purpose of those images is purely an aesthetic enhancement to accompany the text. They serve no purpose.
But whatever. It's obvious that until you ascribe meaning to those images, we won't agree on this.
