Try the following starting from emacs -Q + the attached .png file:

1.

(let ((ov (make-overlay 1 10)))
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha-background 90)
  (overlay-put
   ov
   'display
   (create-image
    "/path/to/image.png"
    nil nil :width 100)))

2. Observe image background not being transparent, but instead using
default face background.

3.

(let ((ov (make-overlay 1 10)))
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha-background 90)
  (overlay-put
   ov
   'display
   (create-image
    "/path/to/image.png"
    nil nil :width 100 :mask 'heuristic)))

4. With :mask 'heuristic, the background becomes transparent (mod
"rough" edges due to clipping)

I believe that (1) is a bug.

Po Lu and Alan, is this a bug or a missing feature?

I'm tending towards "bug", but only Alan can be sure.

I'd lean more towards missing feature, but it's a toss up really.

I think the problem is that Emacs has never handled image
transparency, so it sets the transparent pixels of the image to the
frame's background colour. There's quite a bit of fiddling to manage
this with changing backgrounds and so on.

I'm not sure what would be required for drawing transparent images to
the glass. On NS I think it would be near trivial as the toolkit will
handle it for us, but I don't know about others. For example I have a
memory of being told that some terms don't clear under images so
drawing a transparent image might show the previous pixels.

Then, how does :mask 'heuristic works? It somehow manages to set certain
pixels to be truly transparent. If so, why is it a problem setting
pixels that have transparent color in the image truly transparent in
exactly the same way?

That's what I thought, indeed.

As I recall on X it uses a mask, so there's a second image that has
the transparent pixels marked (so probably a one bit bitmap) and the
image drawing function only draws the corresponding non-transparent
pixels from the main image.

Other terms may work differently. I don't think NS has native support
for masking bitmaps, for example. I can't remember how we work around
that.
