I hadn't noticed this, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Of note,
however, is an issue with png gamma correction differences between PC
and Mac. I suggest google for more info on that subject.

Didn't they include a link to a MS reference page for AlphaImageLoader?

It doesn't have an option to tile backgrounds, so the CSS background
position and repeat properties are irrelevant. This filter usually
stretches the background, which by chance is what you originally wanted. :)
I haven't used the Gradient filter, but you might want to look at it as
an alternative.

I don't see how this will help, but I can see how it may create other
problems. Caching comes to mind.
