You would have to tie the h1 and @missing lines together, so that the 
@missing group is only obeyed if the h1 group would have won in the cascade.

Note that this example is degenerate in that the only selector in the 
@missing block is h1, but that would have to be enforced, if one was to 
avoid other selectors being introduced that were incompatible with a 
subsequent, or !important, h1 rule that changed the background image to 
one that did exist.
