Summary Background repeat css property is not inherited from parent if unspecified

When the stylesheet of an element provides a background repeat attribute, setting the background image explicitly in the span without specifying repeat will overwrite the old repeat setting with the default. It looks like other browsers (Fx and IE) inherit the background-repeat property in this situation. This has been seen in the wild causing rendering problems.

Created attachment 16037 [details] Testcase Test case. IE and Firefox render the background image once. WebKit duplicates it.

I think WebKit doesn't parse the property because of url(""). Replacing it with a valid URL yields the expected behavior. Likewise specifying just background-repeat in the style rule behaves as expected.
