Georeferencer ignores "Use 0 for transparency when needed" switch

Description

When I tick the "Use 0 for transparency when needed" and click "Start georeferencing" against an image that is rotated, I end up with a GeoTiff that has 3 bands, and black triangles in each corner. However, if I click "Generate GDAL script" and manually run the generated commands, a 4 band GeoTiff is created, with Band 4 as an alpha layer and the 4 corner triangles marked as transparent.

It seems that Georeferencer is not applying the -dstalpha flag when running gdalwarp (this is the only difference in the generated script when the "Use 0 for transparency when needed" is toggled).
