This should fix the issue:

html {background:#fff;}

On the other hand, it almost seem to me that it is IE that is right here,
no?
Without background styling of HTML, body should be painted from top to
bottom of the viewport regardless of content isn't?

background-color to body you'll see what I mean.
So may be the spec is about the painting of a background-color, but not
relevant when it comes to the positioning of a background image(?).
