There's no conflict. The "bg" argument of png() (and most other
devices) is a "canvas color" that is handled by the device driver. The
lattice "background" setting controls a background rectangle plotted
by lattice:
png("foo.png", bg = "transparent")
xyplot(1 ~ 1, par.settings = list(background = list(col = "yellow")))
dev.off()
Obviously, plotting a transparent rectangle over a white canvas (which
you were effectively doing) will not make the canvas transparent.
