|alt= works fine when |link= is used.  Look at the HTML source of the page --
I've set a test case as the URL for this bug.  On browsers that cause HTML alt=
to render as a tooltip, the tooltip won't work when wikitext link= is set,
because wikitext link= sets a tooltip on the wrapping <a> which overrides the
tooltip on the image itself.  However, alt= is supposed to be used for alt
text, *not* tooltips.  It doesn't even work for tooltips in non-IE browsers, as
my link shows (see the last case, which doesn't have the custom "Commons"
tooltip in Firefox).  Therefore, this bug as stated is wrong: alt= on linked
images is working as intended.

However, the unnamed parameter (which is different from alt= and is really only
kept for backwards compatibility because Brion insisted on it, I wanted to use
it only for captions) is supposed to set both alt text and tooltip, and on
linked images it doesn't.  This is a bug, which has already been filed as bug
16912.
