My bug was filed with the understanding that the default role of <img> should
be role="img". 

Howeer, you have just resolved  bug 10485 to say that the default role of <img>
should be no role, and as long as that remains the case, then the only thing to
consider would be whether the role, whenever there is no @alt, should be
presentational.
