Sounds to me like the pix were created in Photoshop (or another editor)
using color profiles. This is pretty common behavior for PPT once color
profiles get into the mix.

This is a pretty old FAQ, and the description is a bit off for your current
problem, but I believe it's the same issue. I don't know of a way to fix the
problem other than discarding color mgmt for the pictures...

Transparent areas of graphics turn black
