I've pushed a repair, so the next build (i.e., a date later than July
20 03:50 EDT) that is available here should work correctly:

The problem was specific to the Windows version of Racket. Drawing a
bitmap with an alpha channel involves generating a variant of the
bitmap (with RGB values that are pre-multiplied by the alpha channel).
Generating the variant can allocate, and therefore might trigger the
little recycle icon in DrRacket during a garbage collection.
Unfortunately, drawing the recycle icon would steal a resource that was
being used to generate the variant bitmap. As a result, the generated
bitmap's RGB (not the alpha part) was all black.
