The operator here though is the tag so if something is tagged, the tag should e honored. For instance, if the converse were true, tagged images would speak the image data like file name + the tag and we wouldn't want that.

Well, in this case I'd actually say "not necessarily": if the user explicitly set JAWS to announce images, no matter what, then the AT should comply with the user's wishes (as long as, by default, it acts "as expected" and silently skips over images with null alt).
