Solution
It is not feasible to make all the images compatible with both white and black backgrounds. Also, after the regression it is not easy to identify all the images that are affected by transparent background. We can't prevent future contributors from committing transparent illustrations.
It's better to keep the image background white. To solve original issue of alt text, set
color: black
on images.Screenshots
