Nope. The <a> has a title attribute.

The link's title attribute doesn't "override" the alt attribute. The alt
attribute is a brief textual description of the image in question which will be
visible with images turned off, read in a text-only browser, or spoken by
screen reader software. The title attribute, for sighted users of graphical
browsers, triggers a tooltip on hover to provide additional information about
an element.

> Though this patch

Nor should it. The alt attribute is not designed to produce a visible effect.
