More complex than simple inversion. The sample image has the number of attribute bits set to 0, so the alpha channel bit should be ignored.

Actually it doesn't.
The old behaviour seemed correct, but the documentation in the TGA specification didn't provide a whole lot of information. The sample file I received appears to have the correct header values set for an alpha channel but has all of the alpha channel bits set to zero. The GIMP treats this bit being 1 as transparency. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114913 for some discussion. So I'll match the GIMP's behaviour.
