 them from non-alpha

 Did you ever try using the Imagick `getImageChannelDepth()` method?  I've
 been experimenting with it and it seems to work for me - see
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8933

 (Honestly this PR is getting a bit more complicated than I would like, but
 it's mostly just rearranging things to work with the original image before
 resizing, rather than after.)
