background-image on 0.94

Hi,

I'm trying to render a PDF that uses a 72dpi gif as the background-image in the region-before.  The image is considerably smaller than the size of the region and so I have "no-repeat" in use.
When the PDF is returned, the image is stretched to the point that a 500 pixel wide image (which should fit with no issues) is being cut off on both ends as well as dramatically reducing the image quality.

Is there a setting I need to change on the FOP so that it does not distort my background image?
If not, what recourse can I take to keep the image in?

Thanks
