There was a bug fix a little while back that resets specular 
color/control on each pass (to avoid highlights with null & Lambert 
shaders). It could be that the specular highlights you see in old 
builds may be an errant state left over from some solid geometry, 
rather than specular settings specific to the transparent geometry.
