It would then look out of place when it's used as a thumbnail on Walls and elsewhere on the site. True transparency would be nice.

The only problem is that the shaded area gets longer depending on how many lines of text your status has. So, for example, my profile picture requires me to have one-line status updates, otherwise it doesn't match up. It would sure be nice if they would just allow transparent png formats without converting them.

You're right Facebook's max dimension is not 500, but it's actually <strong>604</strong> pixels. I think i accidentally carried that over from some Flickr images i uploaded to Facebook.
