Seems to be a bug :-) I think the transperencies aren't flattened (or 
converted to jpg), so output
with ps-printers will result in something somekind unpredictable?
But - if this is for monitors only ...
All I know until now is that scribus shouldn't be able to do this. But 
I will test
this myself.
