Failed rendering of background image

The changes to NetSurf making it no longer abort the redraw if one of
the images within the rectangle fails to render have brought a
significant improvement in usability, but they don't seem to cover all
cases.

In particular, the old symptoms of white trails left by windows dragged
across the page in a certain direction are very visible on this page:

http://raphazlab.wordpress.com/

The offending image is the banner, which for some reason is inserted
into the CSS like so:

background: url('http://raphazlab.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/banner2012.jpg') no-repeat;

This appears to cause NetSurf to fail to implement its workaround, and
fall back on the old behaviour of aborting redraw.

Not really sure if that counts as a bug or not. It may well be
intentional. What would a suitable alternative behaviour for background
images be?
