CSS "background" not reporting properly in certain browsers

Description
If an element has background settings set shorthand, it reports back in Chrome but Firefox and IE report an empty string. It wasn't working for my pages where I was looking to get the values of "background" for an element and even hand coding in the console gives the same results.
My CSS is as follows:
#logo { background:url('images/logo.jpg') no-repeat 0px 0px; float:left; width:200px; height:10px; display:inline; }
For example if I do this in Chrome, Firefox, or IE:
$('#logo').css('background');
Chrome reports:
"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) url(/images/logo.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0px 0px / auto padding-box border-box"
Firefox and IE just report:
""
If I manually look for "background-image" or "background-position", all browsers report the same.
Is this intentional or a bug?

Further information from http://api.jquery.com/css/:
[Retrieval of] Shorthand CSS properties (e.g. margin, background, border) are not supported. For example, if you want to retrieve the rendered margin, use:$(elem).css('marginTop')and$(elem).css('marginRight'), and so on.

I do have one last thing though. When you try to get "background-position" with the CSS selector, it reports in IE9+, Chrome, and Firefox with the value but IE is blank. You have you use the non standard "background-position-x" and "background-position-y" to get those values. Do you think down the road if someone is using IE8 and below and they do "background-position" that jQuery can get the x and y values and combine them to give the same value as the newer browsers?
