Do you have a link to a example page in which it behaves as you say? I 
ask because VoiceOver varies a little depending on the context, it 
seems.

I tested on this code: 

 <p>a <a href="b" ><img alt="b." src="i.jpg" ></a> d</p>

I'm always very careful not to change settings in Webbrowser and AT 
that I use to test Web pages.  Thus I discovered that verbosity is set 
to "High".  I've tested with Norwegian and English localization. But 
no, there is zero announcement that the image is an image when it 
corrus inside that link above.
