Yes this is a known bug in IE.

Depending on how complex your design is, you may be able to move the
"transparency" to the server side, and generate the png with the background
you want:

If you are going to display a png on a particular background, add a stage to
your pipeline to add the background image (or colour fill) to the svg,
before serialization.
