Alexey, I think you are completely right about the problem, but the
solution can be quite a bit simpler:
dtop = Image.open("dtop.png")
frame = Image.open("frame.png")
dtop.paste(frame.convert('RGB'), (0,0), frame)
dtop.save("test.png")
I would say that this alpha-merging quirk comes close to being a bug --
it's probably not what most people expect.
