The subtlety is that a content element, e.g., div, has a size of zero in
the block progression dimension (height in horizontal writing modes). So if
that div has a background image, it will not be displayed (in XSL-FO and
CSS).

However, ST2052-1:2013 does something different, when it states (in §5.5.6):

The min-height and min-width of the area associated with the image shall be

The example I included in the issue [1] shows that CSS does not use this
behavior.

[1] https://github.com/w3c/ttml2/issues/157

So, as we introduce tts:backgroundImage to TTML2, it is natural that we
consider whether to adopt XSL-FO/CSS behavior (my preference) or
SMPTE-TT/IMSC1 behavior.

Also, the above cited section in ST2052-1 also goes on to say:

authors should ensure that the div will be sized to match the given
> pre-rendering


But it doesn't mandate this or make it invalid to fail to do this. Further,
it begs the question of how one would ensure the div will be adequately
sized. Since ST2052-1 (nor TTML1) defines a way to explicitly size a
content element (like div), one wonders how one can satisfy this condition
[that the div will be sized to match].

I don't see where ST2052-1 or IMSC1 prohibits "this situation" as you have
described it. Just the opposite, I don't see how one can ensure the size of
the content matches or exceeds the background image size. For ST2052-1, you
could try to include invisible text content (by using tts:visibility of
'hidden'), but it will be difficult to get that text size to match the
background image size. In IMSC1 you can't even do this, since you can't
include text at all.
