What I have noticed is, if the link (such as a graphic link) contains a title attribute, the filename and extension is read out. This can sometimes override the alt tag. I avoid using the title attribute anyway, as JAWS does not read them by default. I would suggest writing to Apple accessibility and pointing this bug out to them, and also raising it as a bug on their bug report website. I have done this in the past, but the bug is still there.
