Not according to what you posted (check the second caps; note that this
is a list of possible output caps, it's not the first in the list that
counts).

Both

 gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=rgba32.png ! gdkpixbufdec !
fakesink

and

 gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=rgba32.png ! pngdec ! fakesink

give me RGBA output (note the alpha mask in the caps), both with CVS and
the current releases.

Maybe you could make your image file available somewhere so we can try
it?
