there's no way to do this in 1.1.5; to get the result you want, you can 
warp a "solid" image using the same transform, and use that as a mask. 
something like this should work:

     size = 500, 500
     data = im.transform(size, AFFINE, (1,0.5,0,0,0.5,0))
     mask = Image.new("L", im.size, 255)
     mask = mask.transform(size, AFFINE, ...)
     imout = Image.new("RGB", size, "red")
     imout.paste(data, mask)
