[CSS Image Sizing] Sizing with Alt Text

I have the following content

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div style="max-width: 700px;">
    <img alt="Some long text that must be long enough to have caused
overflow" height="100" style="border: 3px"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>

On different browsers this content is rendered differently. Firefox seems
NOT to apply the sizing algorithm as specified CSS spec when alt text is
used, where as Chrome seems to apply it.
Is there a *correct* behavior as per the spec?
I have read the parts
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-images/#sizing
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#replaced-element
and did not find any conclusive answers
