There are two issues with the resulting DMG. First, the original
dimensions of the finder window are not preserved when the DMG is
opened on a Mac other than my development machine (where it was
created). Second, the background graphic, which is a PNG file, is
not displayed.

1. On which version of Mac OS X are you creating your disk image and
on which version are you testing it?
If you build a disk image on Snow Leopard with a background image,
the background image will not be seen on Tiger.
A problem with operating systems is my first guess too. I haven't seen
the Finder compatibility documented, but it is likely in general that
Finder settings are forwards compatible. If you configure the disk
image on your oldest supported operating system then it is likely to
be ok on newer systems.
Building on a new system and deploying on an old system is fragile. In
particular as noted, Snow Leopard to Tiger has issues. I have been
fine using Leopard and deploying to Tiger through Snow Leopard, both
the dimensions of Finder window and the background image do display as
intended.

2. I don't understand why you need to bless the dmg.
To specify the folder which opens when the disk image is mounted.
(Otherwise can get volume mounting silently with no pretty window
appearing.)
