okay - it depends on *how* you set the background image.

i've used the Format->Page dialog to set it, that works fine as above.

but there's a second way, in the document view via the blue header 
button drop-down menu "Border and Backgrounds..." - set an image there 
and i get similar results as you (data loss).

apparently there's a bug to have the blue button drop-down call the same 
dialog as Format->Page dialog, which ought to fix the problem.

<aditya-sahu> is apparently working on this...
