On the surface, this looks like a simple bug with writing mode and gradient background images in IE10 PPB1.  I'll take a deeper look when I get some time.

Regarding your point ... The logical upper-left of the box may not change in your example, but it does in other writing modes. 


Regarding what looks like a bug...

The real issue (I think) is that the background-image should be immune to the logical coordinate system of the content *in* the box.

We had some issues in some IE9 builds with this for url-based background images, and it looks like there might be some more work here needed for gradients in IE10.


Thanks for the heads up,
