I think that since user agent and version detection is merely deprecated at this point, it would be safe to use it to detect IE6 given this circumstance, if you absolutely need to. There is no way to tell, but by the time it is pulled out of jQuery, IE6 will be long gone (hopefully).
That being said, conditional comments would probably be the best way for a png fix, especially since it doesn't get executed at all in other browsers. I think that all developers should get together and intentionally block out all versions of IE. If we all do it, we can stop M$!!
