This is not a bug. It may be an incorrect use of syntax or a limitation in the software. For further discussion on the matter, please consult the BYOND forums.
If you place a label with transparent background above the map on your skin, it gets under it once you see it on DS.
I'm not seeing this issue, you're sure you've moved the label all the way to the front within the editor?

I'm positive. When you drag the window to resize, the label flickers and shows itself sometimes but when you release the mouse button it disappears again.
Definitely gotta wonder if it's something specific to your setup. Do you have software rendering enabled by chance?
In response to Nadrew
All default. Here are some prints.

Transparent controls over maps don't work. This is documented.
Oh duh, I missed the "transparent" part entirely, whoops!
