snippet of the settings that caused this:

    "profiles": 
    {
        "defaults": 
        {
            "antialiasingMode": "cleartype",
            // "bellStyle": "window",
            "experimental.retroTerminalEffect": false
        },
        "list": 
        [
            {
                "background": "#012456",
                "closeOnExit": "graceful",
                "colorScheme": "Campbell Powershell",
                "commandline": "powershell.exe",
                "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
                "cursorShape": "bar",
                "font": 
                {
                    "face": "Code New Roman",
                    "size": 10
                },
                "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
                "historySize": 9001,
                "name": "Powershell",
                "opacity": 50,
                "padding": "0, 0, 0, 0",
                "snapOnInput": true,
                "startingDirectory": "C:/Windows",
                "useAcrylic": false
            },

It did go away on a settings reload, so maybe there's hope. Probably just didn't init the background correctly in DX for the "transparent, not acrylic" case
