This line passes the validator:

<img src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" 
width="87" height="23" alt="Add to Cart"></a>

But this line complains there's no alt tag:

<img alt="Add to Cart" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but22.gif" 
border="0" width="87" height="23"></a>

Note that the url above will soon change to http://cougarclub.org/Store/, in 
case you get a 404.

As far as I know the parser does not care about attribute order. I have taken
the page you mention, shuffled the attributes around as the bug report said, and
always got positive validation as a result.
