Fixed background on iPhone Safari

Question

iPhone Safari seems to have some sort of problem whereby a page with css like this:

body {
   background: #000 url(fixedimage.png) fixed repeat-x;
}

...doesn't actually lead to a fixed image. It scrolls as the user scrolls.

I've seen plenty of people kvetching about this on the internets, but no real solution. Does anyone have any ideas?
