This is still a little up in the air, with “only gradients” in the current Working Draft, no background-image at all in the current Editor’s Draft, and “Animatable: no” for background-image in CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3 Editor’s Draft.

At this time I have found that nobody actually supports gradients (Chrome 17, FF 12, IE9). Only Chrome supports background-image (that's why it doesn't work in FF for me).
