JAB,

I have confirmed the problem, and determined it is because
map->transparent is now applied in msPostMapParseOutputFormatSetup().
This is already done by the time shp2img processes the -t flag.

Since it doesn't work, I have removed the switch from shp2img.  Instead
you can add the line:

   TRANSPARENT ON

in your mapfile.

Best regards,
