The following article provides one explanation as to what is going with
PNGs.  If the author's statements are valid, then apparently the problem
with PNG display is universal.

Still, this shouldn't really pose any problem for Rev developers.  In
addition to the multiple graphic formats that we can employ, users will
rarely have the opportunity to directly compare the appearance of a Mac
stack with a Windows stack.  And there are so many variables at play when
releasing a stack to the masses that you're probably better off trying to
cure the common cold than attempting to make your stack look perfect
everywhere.
