OK, I did a little more work on this, and I've narrowed down what's
going on, but I could still use some help in figuring out how to solve it.
Here's my original image:
http://mikejcorey.com/spatial/diablo-orig-5pct.tif
The original appears to have an RGBA setup (RGB channels and an alpha
channel).
When I run this:
gdalwarp -crop_to_cutline -cutline cutout.shp sourceimage.tif
diablo-cutline.tif
Here's what I get:
http://mikejcorey.com/spatial/diablo-cutline-5pct.tif
This comes out as an RGB image with no alpha channel, with each channel
being semi-transparent.
Not in my case. Could there be something wrong with your GDAL setup? I
drew a shapefile mask and ran the above command but my result is RGBA,
the alpha band is not lost. See mask and result here:

However, if I do this:
gdalwarp -dstalpha -crop_to_cutline -cutline cutout.shp sourceimage.tif
diablo-dstalpha-cutline.tif
I get this:
http://mikejcorey.com/spatial/diablo-dstalpha-cutline-5pct.tif
This one is strange, because it appears to be a grayscale image. But
when I open it in Photoshop, I see that it actually has 4 alpha
channels. I suspect that those are just getting set incorrectly as alpha
and are in fact the RGB channels, but can someone explain that behavior
or how to fix it?
What I want to end up with is a clipped RGB image (or RGBA) image where
nodata is transparent and the RGB isn't translucent.
Thanks again!

are some details from the gdalwarp page,http://gdal.org/gdalwarp.html :

destination file that may be updated, including blending. If the OGR layer
containing the cutline features has no explicit SRS, the cutline features must be
in the georeferenced units of the destination file. When outputing to a not yet
existing target dataset, its extent will be the one of the original raster unless
-te or -crop_to_cutline are specified.
