Hi, Michael You picked a good one to get your feet wet with. No, I wouldn't say that there is anything about this that is going to trip you up, or implementation quirks that you wouldn't get from existing code (I assume we are talking maintenance branch?).
One thing that you might end up doing, being unfamiliar with FOP source, is to do way more for this property than you need. The background properties are pure rendering traits, and with the exception of background-position-horizontal and background-position-vertical, require absolutely no more work at any stage of layout other than to ensure that appropriate traits (instance variables) are set on the affected areas that are eventually passed to the renderers. Almost all of the real work is in the renderer stage.

Is anyone working on this at the moment? If not, I'm happy to make an attempt at it. Is there anything I should know about implementing properties in FOP, or this one in general, that I wouldn't pick up from looking at the existing code?
