Very interesting.  Do you know of any documentation for this tileset?

This looks like a hybrid system.  There is an automatic blending, but it 
is done without the use of an additional mask.  Look at the mountains: 
they do not occupy the full area of the tile (the rest is purple). 
Something must get drawn here based on what tile is adjacent.
