Actually, the CSSWG simply hasn't gotten around to working on the background module of CSS3, since much more pressing issues (i18n, text, selectors, css2 errata, etc) have been taking out time. It is likely that when this module is worked on, background-size will be accepted. I hope so, anyway, and intend to strongly argue the case! :-) Note that the post you quote didn't say that the WG was against it, the post was merely saying that it was "probable". Pure conjecture.
