It's -aV - uppercase to set, lowercase to remove.
You can also use the UNIX way - call the file .background.png or so.
The only problem with this is it can be a bit of a swine to set it in
Finder, although if memory serves you can put in the filename into the
file dialog and it will find it. I do it this way because up until
this post, I didn't realise there were extra file flags :)
What I would like to know, is if there is any way to set the
background image without having to faff about in Finder - some command
line tool, for example. I guess you could make Finder do it with some
AppleScript.

Or just copy a file as .VolumeIcon.icns to the root of the dmg :)
