In my CSS book, the author speaks about handling this issue by providing alternate images in GIF format for IE browsers and specifying these in a supplemental IE-targeted style sheet.
The gif images might represent a slightly degraded design, but the idea is that the site is still workable.
There are many ways to target specific browers in your CSS , for testing you could even use:
.someBackground { background-image:url(myfile.png) } !important
.someBackground { background-image:url(myfile.gif) }
Most Non-IE browsers will recognize and use the style marked !important while IE will not and then use the GIF.
This is not the ultimate best practices solution but it's start.

Works fine on my site.
