The resulting HTML shows as:

<span class="inlinemediaobject"> <img src="ubraille.png" align="left" alt="&#xA; &#xA; alt text &#xA;"></span

In Firefox (Linux host if that makes a difference) the alt text doesn't show.

Show where? Are you right-clicking on the image and viewing its properties? If so, the alt text is there, but you'll need to scroll the single-line 'Alternate text' field to see it. Also, if the referenced image file were unavailable, the alt-text would appear in place of the image.

If you were expecting the text in a 'tool-tip', then firefox does not use image 'alt' text for that -- it *will* display the value of 'title' attr (allowed on most HTML elements, unlike img's 'alt') in tool-tip style.
