Is anyone else having a problem with Eterm 0.9.3?

I love its transparency ability and had it set up with the following user.cfg:

<Eterm-0.9.2>
begin color
foreground rgb:ff/ff/ff
end

begin attributes
font fx none
end

begin image
type background
mode trans
cmod image 100
end

begin toggles
itrans on
buttonbar off
xterm_select on
end

begin misc
term_name xterm
end

Prior to the 0.9.3 update this shaded the terminal window a little
less than 50%. Now it shades it a blue tint. Trying just the --O and
--shade options yields identical results. However, if I don't use
transparency the --shade option works correctly.

Anyone seen a similar error?

Slight tangent question:
Is emailing the maintainer the only way to report a bug to a port? The
FreeBSD PR system looks like it isn't intended for ports.
