Multi-line alternative text doesn't work for python cells

Quarto version 1.5.52.

The two cells in the following document should produce the same output, but they don't. I've used echo: fenced to show the result clearly.

execute: 
  echo: fenced

```{python}
#| label: import-pkgs
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
```

```{python}
#| label: fig-single-line-alt
#| fig-alt: Looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg alternative text string that would be better as a multi-line entry.
#| fig-cap: Figure caption
r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

```{python}
#| label: fig-multi-line-alt
#| fig-alt: |
#|   Looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg looooooooooooooooooooonnnngggg alternative 
#|   text string that would be better as a multi-line entry
#| fig-cap: Figure caption
r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

See the result below.

The issues are:

1. Alt text not processed properly for the multi-line case.
2. Figure caption also not processed properly even though nothing changed in how it's defined.
3. Figure sizes are different (though this might partially be due to no caption/figure environment).

Multi-line alt text works in R, see below.

Code from the above image included below for reproducibility.
