Turns out the escape attribute is now passed on to Helper::parseAttributes() so if you have an image link like me, you will have to remember to manually escape the attribute values.

<?= $appHtml->link(
   $appHtml->image('icons/bin.png'),
   '#',
   array(
      'escape' => false,
      'onclick' => h('if (confirm("True?")) alert ("Yes"); return false;')
   )
) ?>

Not a big issue and it probably seem more consistent that the escape option is applied to both the link title and the HTML attributes. See ticket #6071 for why it was changed and what was changed.
