I asked about this behaviour on the dvipng mailing list, and the
maintainer doesn't consider it a bug, see
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/dvipng/2021-05/msg00002.html.
Can you explain the use for a `Transparent` background ? Transparent
images are poorly supported in emacs, all it does is render it with
the background color of the default face -- which may not be the
expected result.
