Yeah, that is why issue #1 exists.

Damn, I guess I misread #1. Sorry for the noise.

Oops yes..just re-read #1 after a few months, doesnt say anything about broken transparency. We will keep your issue and I'll close #1. Sorry for the opening/closing.

Okay, now the first real response to this issue:
I have no idea how to fix it and wasted many hours trying. This fork uses both Xlib and xcb, they share the same connection and draw to the same pixmap, the problem is that they both have to use a (the same) "visual" that supports drawing with alpha channel and I could not figure out how to do that correctly nor did I find any resources on the topic.
Any help here would be appreciated.

Could you test your config with commit ca19022 ?
Background transparency works now on my system with compton, foreground (i.e. text) transparency does not.

Yep, works for me too. Thanks for looking into it.
