It is a good point. Ideally, there should be a way to be able to set an alpha threshold for hit-testing a border image. I think the idea of using a 50% threshold was considered at one point and rejected, and the general idea of controlling via a property was punted to level four. It could be something like 'border-image-threshold:0.5'. I think we should have that anyway for CSS4 border-image, regardless of the outcome of 'border-corner-shape'.

No, but I think the drop-shadow filter effect would.

You could use the the drop-shadow filter effect to get a pretty passable fake border, especially if you could do inner shadows with that or something like it (positive spread, no blur).
