I don't see any trouble, but what about

-bg ff0000

for opaque and

-bg ff00003f

for transparent background. This would be much easier to check (must  
be 6 or 8 chars) and transparency has most of the times 255 values  
anyway AFAIK (depending on the implementation, e.g. png).

But you solution would be also ok.

Regards,
Werner
