Transparency band not persisted in QgsProject

Description

When using a single band raster and setting the tranparency band to band 1, the transparency is correctly applied. However when closing and then reopening the project, the layer transparency band reverts to 'Not Set'.

Expected behaviour:

The transparency band state should be properly restored to band 1 when the project is opened.

This is an issue for me in QGIS 1.8.0. Whichever band is selected as the transparency band it is not persisted in the `.qgs` project file. The following is the map layer corresponding to a grayscale TIF whose alpha band I am trying to set as the transparent band:

have you tested qgis master? many things changed in rasters in qgis master... please try and leave feedback.

I have tested in qgis master against commit a27aad04f6583630c729d078ce01e3000b16eabe (1.9.0 Alpha) and it seems to have fixed the issue - thanks!
