Steps to reproduce the issue

Make a site with multiple languages

Expected result

The main/default language for a page should have a hreflang="x-default" tag as explained here:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.nl/2013/04/x-default-hreflang-for-international-pages.html

Additionally each page should have all languages with their respective URL's listed, including its own URL. (currently it only lists different ones)

Actual result

Only the other languages have a hreflang tag set, the loaded page language is not included.
Additionally the default language is not marked with an "x-default" tag.

System information (as much as possible)

Not relevant

In staging, the alternate was corrected as it was broken since 3.4.0.
See #6569
It will be available in 3.4.2

At reading your post, I see an issue when " Remove URL Language Code" is set to yes in the languagefilter plugin.
In that case the default site language IS the domain and we may get for the home page
<link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/" rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" />
when the site default language is en-GB and we are on another language page.

I doubt we could also add...
<link rel="alternate" href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/" hreflang="x-default" />

the other hreflang are fine:

<link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/fr/" rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-FR" />
  <link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/de/" rel="alternate" hreflang="de-DE" />
  <link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/it/" rel="alternate" hreflang="it-IT" />
  <link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/es/" rel="alternate" hreflang="es-ES" />
  <link href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/ta/" rel="alternate" hreflang="ta-IN" />

FYI, I am here on the Macedonian home page:
I get:
<base href="http://localhost:8888/testwindows/trunkgitnew/mk/" />
and
<link href="/testwindows/trunkgitnew/mk/" rel="canonical" />

We can patch though to add as alternate, when loading a home page as well as associations, the page displayed itself. Not really sure we should.
