Is anyone aware of a problem with inaccessible hypertext links caused by
misplacing an Alt-tag?
 
Is it true that by embedding the Alt-tag in the line instead of using it as
the final term on the line, screen readers are not able to decode it?

Alan,
 
I was not aware of it as a problem, but I think the answer is yes.
 
In the examples you gave, you were accurate. The tag must go at the end of
the line, not embedding it within. For further info I suggest checking out:

The Trace Center Accessiblity Page seems to have a typo at the moment and
is not reachable.
