No, they are correct; it is not a bug.  The background is white on Mac 
OS X by default, but under Windows, it is determined by color choices 
the user makes in the control panel.  The "gray" printing default is 
maybe not ideal, but unless you explicitly specify a default color, you 
aren't given any guarantees as to what color you will actually get.  
You specify what you want, or you live with what you get.

And it is a feature, too: the default color is determined based on the 
environment in which the image is being rendered; in this way, the 
stack "blends in" with its environment.  I agree that it makes more 
sense to use a white background when printing, but it is not 
unreasonable to require the user to specify this.  Not at all.
