Ah! Yeah that makes my particular application unusable. I was hoping to have 
different sections of a card with different background images, and be able to 
drag-select everythign but the background images. Currently I have the 
background pattern of a card set to a hidden image, then I have other images as 
locked controls for the other sections. 

I suppose I could create a single image of the three and use that as the 
background pattern... right up until I need to resize the stack for some reason 
or other. 

What might be a possibility is to set only certain rects of the background 
pattern of a card to an image. Something like:

set the backgroundPattern of the topcard of this stack to 123 top -- only 
repeat the pattern once at the top of the card
set the backgroundPattern of the topcard of this stack to 123 area 0,0,500,86 
-- repeat the pattern within the specified rect

Subsequent commands would "overwrite" prior ones so you could set the pattern 
for the entire card, then put patterns over the top of that. 

Just a thot...
