Grey background after using Filter css on IE 8

Question

I add a css rule

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=1)

to an text element . It rotates as I expected. However, I found that the background - color will change to grey. I tried changing the background-color to none it still not working, any fix for this? Thanks for helping
