If an anchor block contains an semi-transpearent image (instead of (or in
addition to?) text), and the background of the anchor block is changed by a
hover style, the region that is has its background changed is not the region of
the image, as it should be.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a web page with the following content

<style> a:hover { background: pink; } </style>
<a href="http://BreyFamily.net"><img
src="http://BreyFamily.net/images/HomeLink.gif"></a>

2. View the page with FireFox.
Actual Results:  
A pink rectangle about half the height of and a bit wider than the image appears.

Expected Results:  
The background of the image should become pink.
