It's a bug, made more confusing by the trickery that is done when printing a figure. DPI, facecolor, and edgecolor that are set for a figure object are used only for screen display, and are overridden when the figure is saved. The overriding values can be supplied to the savefig call or via rcParams. I think I have fixed the bug in svn, so that "transparent" will work as advertised. In addition, I made a change so that even with transparent=True, if you supply facecolor and/or edgecolor to the savefig call, those values should be used for the figure patch when the figure is saved. This might be useful if you want to keep the line around the figure, for example.
