Gecko has supported that syntax for a while (fx 3.5 I think) for border-radius 
and border-image. Neither WebKit not Gecko have gotten around to support the 
full background shorthand syntax. Yet. (as you say, for the shorthand to work 
fully, the individual properties must be supported, amongst various reasons).

BTW - I find the background shorthand increasingly difficult to parse - 
manually I mean. Machine readable sure, machine generatable, probably. But my 
head spins every time I try to read it, or to write it. I find it easier to use 
longhand, esp with multiple layers of background images (try adding a 
css-gradient or two in the mix and not lose the north :-).
