Looking at this on a test page (like
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/0.11186127029575321) it seems
like it takes three clicks to get to the File page. Play the video, open
the menu, click the File link.

Ultimately, a magnify icon should not directing people to a file
description page, it should be magnifying the image. However, taking three
clicks to get to the File page is a bit much. Just thinking out loud, I
wonder if we might reset the alt click behavior to open the file in a new
tab, rather just the expanded video player in a new tab? Bug tickets,
ideas, and patches welcome.

No, I believe it does nothing to any style that isn't thumb. Frame,
frameless, border, etc. are not impacted.
