I can't reproduce this, as long as the Film > Transparent is off, I see a background color.

In my case, both the background colour and the shading are pure black.
Attached is a screenshot of rendered mode with film transparency and the problem.


This is at the studio in Linux build 08e6948da50, so it does have the same problem as my 9149e894210 build on Windows at home.
It can't really be a driver thing afaik, since this is not using GPU rendering.
