Any time you upload a header image, it automatically gets converted to a .jpg image, and unfortunately, .jpg doesn’t support transparency.

I suppose you could try adding a transparent image (.png is your best bet) via custom css:
```
#header {

background: url('path to image file') !important;

}
```

Simple CSS trick perhaps?
```
#header {

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;

}
```
