The discussion in http://www.webkit.org/blog/181/css-masks/ suggests it
only uses alpha. This testcase, run in Chrome, also indicates that only
alpha is used:

<canvas id="c" width="100" height="100"></canvas>
<div id="d" style="width:100px; height:100px; background:lime;"></div>
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("c");
c.getContext("2d").fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
document.getElementById("d").style.webkitMaskImage = "url(" + c.toDataURL()
+ ")";
</script>
