I don't really know whether this is a bug or merely "a difference in interpretation".
See attached schematic displaying two gradients, one with one color transparant, one with both opaque.
The top one does not show any purple. IMHO it should be a gradient going something like this...
0% opaque (all purple, but at 0%, you don't see anything).
25% opaque, almost purple
50% opaque, gray
75% opaque, almost green
100% opaque, all green.
The gradient component seems to treat the alpha channel as some sort of blend ratio instead of a true alpha.

Not what I'd have expected either.
Looks like they've cheated a bit by simply overlaying two simple colour>>transparent layers instead of properly interpolating the channels.

Yes it seems you have two layers of colors fading into transparent. Then when you lower the opacity of one, it will be transparent but the color underneath it is transparent too, because it was already fading into transparent to begin with.

I just can't seem to build a color blend module that produces the same results as the gradient component.
