Could you use solid background gif and then the opacity filter in your
IE6 style sheet? I'm not sure if you can make the child of a translucent
parent opaque though.

It should be possible, depends on how much time you are willing to invest.
I have always had problems applying AlphaImageloader to background
images. So I don't even try.
I would build the site so it worked in all modern browser.
The using conditional comments apply a special CSS for IE 5.5 & 6
that replaces the transparent background .png files with transparent
background .gif and use the Gradient Filter

AlphaImageLoader Filter where necessary.
You can see the basic idea in the CSS here

(it is now an ugly invalid site now, but three years ago when I last
touched it it was clean and valid).
If you change your font size, it is an elastic site, the background
image still appears through the semi-transparent menu background.
In IE (including 7 I built this 3 years ago) the background is a gif
and AlphaImageloader is used on the menu div to make the whole div
semi-transparent.
In all other modern browsers because the background is a
semi-transparent png
Using that technique with both AlphaImageloader and Gradient filter
should get you the results you need
