I can't think of anything that could have changed here -- there is really nothing special the view hierarchy does in this case, it is just drawing the views on on top of the other in Z-order. And we certainly have transparent background working in many other places, such as the background image used for buttons etc.
Does this change happen with the current binary of your app, or after you recompile it against 1.5?
