Did you ever find a workaround to this problem. I have discovered the
same issue. I have a png which is a background image for an
information balloon div, which I prefer to fade in and out rather than
appear totally abruptly. Kinder on the eyes. The partially transparent
area of the png appears in black in IE7 and solid white in Chrome.
My current workaround is just a gif image instead, for IE and Chrome,
done by php. I did attempt some limited partial transparency on this,
by putting in by hand some transparent pixels into the area I would
have preferred to be partially transparent. This only works because
the partially transparent area is white (a shadow) and the page
background is also white.
Best wishes
