Firstly, thank you for the input Jukka, and my apology for replying late.
Yes, I wrote the whole message in a more general way. Strictly
speaking, I was asking whether this situation could happen. Imagine
the following style rule:
div {
background: #dedede url(someimage.jpg) no-repeat top left;
}
Assuming that there are not any CSS caveats in the code, could the
browser say, successfully download the image _but_ fail to render the
background color?

A user on a mailing list I'm subscribed to supplied these images as
screenshots from Wikipedia, but the actual page is no longer exists,
so I can't for sure prove the validity of his claim:
http://jonasrand.110mb.com/images/Greywiki-screenshot.PNG
http://jonasrand.110mb.com/images/Whitewiki-screenshot.PNG
The page once has a white background color, and once a gray one.

Could it fail for any other reason, provided the CSS file has been
downloaded and is strictly valid?
