Inconsistent transparency behavior when using blending and PNG export

Description

Combination of blending techniques can be used to produce a composer map item that achieve transparency in composer view but is exported as an opaque white object when exporting to PNG.
I produced a demonstration .qgs file embedded in the attached zip.

This is what you see in the composer.
qgis_view
This is what you get when opening the resulting png using gimp.
gimp_view

As you might notice map 3 & 4 both achieve transparency because the yellow rectangle in the background is visible in the resulting png.
However a white background is applied on map 4 for whatever reason.

Tested on windows 10 & Ubuntu 14.04 with Qgis 2.18.5

If a ticket needs to be reopened then resolution must be removed. Anyway if is a 2.x only issue this must be ticket, as 2.* is EOL.
