I wasn't able to reproduce this on my machine, but I'm not running windows.
Could you send me the image file the idv produces when your run your
script?

You need to add a <backgroundtransparent/> tag inside of <image>, like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<isl debug="true" loop="1" offscreen="true" sleep="5.0minutes" times="258">
<bundle clear="true" file="${islpath}/conus_radar.xidv" height="3000" 
width="4736" wait="true"/>
<image file="${islpath}/conus_radar.png">
<backgroundtransparent/>
</image>
</isl>

Note that your height and width values were switched.

Cheers!

Sean
