Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Windows Terminal with an experimental.useBackgroundImageForWindow background image and multiple panes, using the linked screenshot as the expected context. Trace how the background is rendered or assigned when panes are split. Done means all panes display the same background image consistently.
