The lossless format (where this bug's in) achieves amazing compression rates, compared to PNG.

Yes, the main benefit of WEBP is for lossless compression, it's reported to be about 25% better, though this would depend on the image. For lossy, there's no reason I can see to prefer it over JPEG.

The lossy format has alpha support, unlike JPEG.
