This specific point is NOTABUG. "Explicitly no background" is not the same as
"background is not set here". E.g., when your (parent) style has background,
and you want to make the specific paragraph with that style to have no
background, it is not enough to make sure that there's "no fo:background-color
item" - that would mean "we don't define any override; use the inherited
setting".

And it holds even when there was no inherited background. The program has no
(and should not have) mind-reading abilities; my "explicitly set no background"
could mean e.g. "I intend to set up styles later; so no matter what I will set
to the style later, I explicitly want this paragraph to have no background".

This is what Telesto meant by "I'm told this being by design". Yes it is.

If your current bug is explicitly and exclusively about this, it must be
closed.
