Subject: bug#22253: Background of transparent PNG images uses default background color, instead of current one

Hi all,

When no :background is specified for a transparent PNG, the background color of the 'default face is used. This causes aliasing effect to appear then e.g. the image is highlighted (transient-mark-mode).

To reproduce (on latest emacs-25):

* Save https://i.stack.imgur.com/BqrLK.png as ~/rooster.png
* emacs -Q
  M-: (insert #(" 🐤" 1 2
	  (display
	   (image :type imagemagick :file "~/rooster.png" :ascent center :mask heuristic :height 150))))
* Notice that the picture looks perfectly antialiased against the default white background
* C-x h
* Notice the aliasing

Can I provide more information on this bug?

Cheers,
Clément.
