Summary: Not Intuition's fault...

	Actually, it isn't Intuition's fault, but the layers library.  If
you stare at the layers library for any length of time, you'll see how a
large part of Intuition was implemented.

	I noticed the same problem with layers not copying all the bitplanes
if the mask was funny.  I discovered this side effect when I was trying to
do obscene things with the WorkBench backdrop.  Not a lot you can do about
it, unless you want to rewrite the layers library :-).
