The media.image viewhelper currently does not generate an alt attribute (empty) if the provided string is empty. This behaviour is different to the TYPO3 core viewhelper to generate an image tag.
1281 already asked for this but got closed. As @NamelessCoder also stated, the output should be an empty alt attribute.
Not every image requires an alt attribute with a "describing" text content, you can also have images that are only used for decoration or enhance text that is already present.
