Here's how I make tgas with a partially transparent background.

Create the image on the first layer with a black background (It could be any
colour)
Select the black background
save as a alpha channel mask(button on bottom of channels box)
at this point one could add pattern to the background
remove the selection
make sure the bits you want transparent are black - you may need to invert
the alpha channel
save as 32bit tga
Don't bother to flatten

If you want partial transparency make the black bits of your alpha channel
a grey.
