Nope, this is a bug in the existing code.  It looks like auto-escaping
wasn't implemented for alt tags.  I've filed a bug.

Yeap, this is a known bug, fixed in our code but not yet released.

There'll probably be a new release in the next couple weeks, we have a
major new feature in the works which still needs some testing (and
probably means version 0.11... though maybe I need to work on the
version numbers).
