Both ImageMagick and gimp are not seeing 
the transparency either.
I am not saying Photoshop is wrong, but 
I read it as "RGB" "8bit", so I don't know 
where to find the additional information.
(It may be a Photoshop-specific tag and that 
is what gimp's warnings indicate.)

Not completely, no.

Possibly because you are only feeding one image?
The idea of image2pipe is usually to feed a 
series of images to ffmpeg, a parser is needed 
to find the beginning of the next image.
