Drop Shadow effect does not work properly with the new implementation of Remove Background in Figma.

I-ve been using a plugin to remove the background of images directly in Figma. After the last update I found out that an option to Remove Background from the Figma UI was there. Fig 1

But after using the Drop Shadow Effect on an image with the background removed using this method, I found out that it is not correctly reading the transparent pixels. Fig 2

I tested the previous plugin I was using to remove the backgrounds and had no issues applying the Drop Shadow Effect. Fig 3
