Yes. Aaron Boodman has packaged this workaround up into a lovely little
script at -

  http://www.youngpup.net/?request=/snippets/sleight.xml

- which allows you to just write the <img>s as normal; the script fixes
them up without you having to write any special markup. It works in 5.5 too.

Unfortunately it only goes for foreground images, the workaround can't
really work for tiling backgrounds.
