background is a shorthand property, so this is equivalent to:

background-color: red;
background-color: transparent;
/* whatever the standalone equivalent of standincolor(red) is */
background-image: url(foo.png);

which is equivalent to:

background-color: transparent;
/* whatever the standalone equivalent of standincolor(red) is */
background-image: url(foo.png);

which for a browser with no image support but colour support, or
with images off and colour support, but without the new property is:

background-color: transparent;
