I agree that querying specified style (e.g.,
element.style.getPropertyValue("background-position") or
sheet.cssRules[0].style.getPropertyValue("background-position"))
should return the empty string.
I tend to think
getComputedStyle(...).getPropertyValue("background-position") should
either return the empty string (which would match Gecko's current
behavior of propagating the lengths of the lists into computed
style) or it should return "1px 10%, 2px 20%, 3px 30%, 1px 40%"
which matches the length of the background-image list (which is what
affects the actual number of layers).

Definitely.
