Well, apart from the unhelpful alt text (which is not easy to make more
helpful, actually, given the way this is generated), that would be the
responsibility of texi2html.  Probably worth reporting to the Texinfo
list and/or proposing a fix.  Now <p> does not need to nest in HTML, and
I can't vouch definitely that the second </p> might not belong to some
starting <p> I have not cut&pasted.

But it's not really pretty and could probably be fixed by just removing
the generation of any </p>.
