I've fixed this by specifying that "none" is treated as a
zero-length list, which means it then falls back to correctly
handling inset.

I agree with the general rule.  In the case of images, I think this
is better dealt with in images 4 than in transitions, though, since
the long term plan is to migrate interpolation rules to the places
where the value types are defined.
