From gimp 2.8.22 I've successfully saved an alpha channel in a png 
image that shows the css background color through the image correctly 
when used as the src in an img tag in an html file.  Maybe your image is 
saving correctly but how your are viewing is supplying a black 
background which would be viewable through the alpha layer?
