I just noticed your texture loading has:

  tex_data = pygame.image.tostring(tex, "RGBX", 1 )

Why RGBX? You need the alpha channel... 

Poof! Changing "RGBX" to "RGBA" immediately makes it work. Thanks!

This probably happened because that line is a distant descendant of some line that I copied from a tutorial long ago, without understanding that "X" wasn't Alpha.
