In my view, the magic is in Tabs version, in which a keyword behave as if the author duplicated the color-stops infinitely. What I'm suggesting is that background-repeat DOES cause tiling to happen, but that the degrees in the linear gradient are applied to the backgound layer plane instead of to each image individually.
