With what you said about webkit and xulrunner (gecko).. Gecko displays
it the way your png looks (like you said) but Webkit on the other
hand... (in Google Chrome) has indeed the flag pole mask bug. perhaps
try the webkit svn version to see if it works in there otherwise
report a bug.

So if it's worth anything.. confirmed your finding.

Now about the flag. That looks good for a flag with no border.
My only suggestion would be to try this flag with a border and see how
that looks.

Good luck,
