I'm note sure if it's a valid bug, anyway I report it.

STR: Open the testcase, the background image should be animated from top to bottom.

Caused by landing of Bug 774122.

It works, if you change
bgObject.style.backgroundPosition = "0 " + backgroundOffset; 
to
bgObject.style.backgroundPosition = "0 " + backgroundOffset +"px";

Where did you encounter the problem?  (Was it on a real website?  Are you a user of that site or a developer?)

Yes, it's on a website (a blog) which gives a script to animate the background. Then I reduced the code to obtain the testcase.

The uer says it works in Chrome and IE.

Then the quirks-mode-spec should be updated to reflect the reality.

Well, the user who reported it there says (if I'm understanding the French correctly) that he created the site where he saw the bug, and then points to a URL of something similar which appears to be a test site (pressing keys throws up debugging alerts).

Based on that (if I'm understanding correctly), I'm not inclined to add a quirk.

I'm much more likely to add a quirk when the problem is reported by a user of the site rather than a developer, especially for an issue that's already shipped on the release channel (bug 774122, Firefox 17).  Though bug 774122 comment 17 does point to another author complaining about a background-position problem... though again not a user.

This should be fixed in bug 1103000
