a quick look reveals that the code in Paste.c
is completely braindead: filling with constant
colors and matte masks ("L" and "RGBA") simply
doesn't work.

filling with binary masks (mode "1") works fine,
though.

a rough workaround is to emulate what earlier
versions did: create a new image with the same
size as the pasted area and the fill colour, and
paste it. e.g:

    x0, y0, x1, y1 = bbox
    im.paste(
        Image.new("RGB", (x1-x0, y1-y0), color),
        bbox, mask
    )

I'll post patches for Paste.c during this weekend
(and update our regression test suite...)
