I've just checked with the trunk code and there at least the pdfgen 
images are OK with the mask working fine for GIF at least for a specifed 
  colour and also 'auto'. I think there's something wrong with jpeg 
support for transparency though. I will have to do some more testing. 
Unfortunately we still seem to have two paths through to images, 
probably because of the need to support pre-defined a85 images.

Can you say what is broken?
