I fixed that in the current CVS version.

I still think that this is the job of an extension like the
dmc_image_alttext plugin. Such an extension only has to create two new
fields and add some TypoScript to use them.

BTW, this is the TypoScript template I used for testing the alttext and
the new titletext property:

page >
page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = TypoScript alt & title test

page.20 = IMAGE
page.20  {
   file = vibiemme-1*.jpg
   file.width = 200
   altText = IMAGE Obj altText
   titleText = IMAGE Obj titleText
}

page.30 = IMGTEXT
page.30 {
   text.10 = TEXT
   text.10.value = Some dummy surrounding text

   altText = IMGTEXT Alt Text - default
   titleText = IMGTEXT Title Text - default

   imgList = vibiemme-1.jpg, vibiemme-2.jpg, vibiemme-1.jpg
   imgPath = uploads/tf/
   imgObjNum = 1||2||3
   1 {
       file.import.current = 1
       file.width = 200
   }
   2 {
       file.import.current = 1
       file.width = 100
       altText = IMGTEXT Alt Text - Second IMGobj
       titleText =  IMGTEXT Title Text - Second IMGobj
    }
   3 {
       file.import.current = 1
       file.width = 150
       altText.cObject = COA
       altText.cObject {
          10 = TEXT
          10.value = IMGTEXT Alt Text COA - Third IMGobj
          20 = HTML
          20.value = <b>some HTML</b>
       }
       titleText < .altText
       titleText.10.value = IMGTEXT Title Text COA - Third IMGobj
    }
}
