IMO this should be backported to 1.14.

Whether a mask exists in this case or not depends on imlib.  When using
XPM, imlib seems to always make a mask.  But when using a PNG tileset it
seems it does not.  Thus a backported fix here may be necessary to fix
the bug on *some* systems when using PNG graphics.

As a side note, I don't see how the drawing can possibly be done
correctly without a mask.  How can there be no transparency in the
sprite?
