Yes, this makes the difference. If I initialize the frame with BG_BLACK, the
BIN appears correctly. Thanks!

However, I can't set this value when I make a sprite. 

I tried replacing "0" with BG_BLACK in the frame init routines on lines 874
and 1384 of sprite.js:

this.frame = new Frame(x, y, this.ini.width, this.ini.height, BG_BLACK,
parentFrame);

This worked. The sprite rendered properly and I was able to mask it, no
problems.
