Actually, "rotatedForm colorAt: 1 at 1" gives "Color black", not transparent. 
So the problem is in scaling, not in drawing.

The "smooth image" option uses Balloon3D for scaling, which is faster than
WarpBlt but does not support transparency.

So the answer is: Don't do that ;-)

PS: Now that the smoothing functionality is migrated to SketchMorph maybe 
we can remove InterpolatingImageMorph?
