"Image of text" [0va7u6], Failed Example 4 is incorrect #2404

Description

Failed Example 4 of HTML images contain no text contains an image with (only) the text "Welcome" in some fancy font, then a paragraph with the text "Welcome to our website". The example's description states:

This image resource referenced by the img element contains text that provides redundant information, but it still is information, therefore it is not decorative.

However, the Understanding Document for SC 1.4.5 states, in the note in its Intent:

The success criterion is intended to address situations where images of text are used rather than text. Where images of text are used in addition to text to convey the same information, and where both are presented to the user, this success criterion is met.

(emphasises not mine)
(note goes on saying this is a difference with the stricter 1.4.9).


Failed Example 4 passes 1.4.5 according to that note. The image of text is used in addition to text conveying the same information.
