Well - altText and titleText are properties of IMAGE and not IMAGE.file
override is not needed here, since levelmedia:-1 will start at the current
page and walk down the rootline until there's something returned.

So this one should do what you want:

temp.tab = IMAGE
temp.tab {
    file = fileadmin/template/main/homepage_tab.png
    file {
        import = uploads/media/
        import {
            data = levelmedia: -1, "slide"
            listNum = 0
        }
    }
    altText.field = title
    titleText.field = title
}
