Graphics placed on the Slide Masters are automatically artifacted, so no Alt Text is required.
If the graphics are to be discovered by AT — and therefore need Alt Text — don't put them on a Slide Master, but instead on a live presentation slide.

<Quote> So any images we want assistive technology to notice cannot be on the master slide? <endQuote>

Yes, that's correct.
