Internet explorer Shadow filter destroys image transparency?

Question

Internet explorer seems to not handle having two divs both with different semi-transparent backgrounds.

The top div loses all opacity.

Is there any way to fix this?

Update

Ok I found the issue: filter: Shadow(Color=#474747, Direction=125, Strength=2); apparently the filters kill opacity in images?
