There is a difference in how -alpha shape works between IM 6 and IM 7, but no difference for -alpha copy. In -alpha shape for IM 7, you need to add -negate. I know that IM 7 alpha channels are opposite polarity from IM 6. But I do not think this should be this way as a matter of consistency.

Examples from http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/masking/#alpha_copy and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/masking/#alpha_shape
