the specification says they should:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/#region
"The region element has the following attributes:
background-color
The use and definition of this attribute are identical to the
"background-color" property in the CSS2 specification,
except that SMIL basic layout does not require support for
"system colors".
If the background-color attribute is absent, the background is
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
transparent. "
^^^^^^^^^^^^
let me know what you find in your experiments
