This appears to be a dupe; the dupe was fixed apparently as a result of 
bug 192557's patch.  TB0.7 still has the bug, but current nightlies should show 
this fixed.

As a workaround until then, you can specify the background using the 'background 
image' field in the Page Colors & Background dialog.
