Is the intention that fallback content inside the <video> element is

Obviously (3) comes by default without changes. If the above is the
intention then obviously the fallback content is the alternative
rendering and so you don't need alt.
Currently alternative content for <audio> and <video> isn't dealt with
very well, I think. It does address fallback content for older user agents
but it does not address disabling support for video and not being able to
support video (Lynx) at least. Ian mentioned on IRC yesterday he will look
into that at some point.
Regarding your first point above. If that happens the author will have to
ensure proper fallback I think. Given that video itself can go wrong at
times as well showing fallback when something goes wrong makes it quite
complicated I'm afraid.
