Have you tried putting something heavy on the "colored background" (I tend to use a thick book)? This may reduce or eliminate the shadow. Have you tried reducing the wand (or select by color) tool's threshold when selecting the black background? I would guess that the postmark color and the background color differ at least slightly. A couple of the raw scans of the stamps might be useful for analysis.
