At http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Gallery_tag.2C_category.2C_table_of_images It explains that you must set the image entries as "Image:*", and that it also allows text. BUT, the text is referenced as an image at the image table (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:A-L). In fact, the image prefix is optional, as it always tries to include the image, showing the text if it can't. So, we should either: a) Update the documentation to explain the real behavior. b) Change the implementation to make it work as documented. I like a bit more the second one although it may break several things... ;)
Fixed in r14143 Backported in REL1_6 ( r14144 ) The fix should hit MediaWiki 1.6.6
