Foreground/background image registration is possible in Freeway, I’ve used it myself for many sites over the years. If you’re seeing a different registration in different browsers, then there may be a CSS issue at work here. But in your test page, it seems as though you are just off by one pixel vertically. Have you tried nudging the foreground image up or down, publishing, and checking again?
Also, are you 100% certain that your background image or foreground image is truly lined up on the pixel grid? Photoshop and Freeway both offer sub-pixel positioning within their respective editing environments, and the result is an anti-aliased (blurred) edge to the elements that will never align properly ever.
Finally, if you are creating this as 144ppi graphics, and the browser is scaling them to 72ppi for display, you may have hit an edge case where the browser does the math, gets a decimal, and decides to round the difference the wrong way. I realize this is simple integer math, but there have been enough cases over the years where a browser rounded up or down with complete disregard for everything I remember from third grade.

Hi again
I guess my brain cell must still be on holiday so I’m obviously missing something. I have created three high resolution graphics from the same master file. One is for the page background and the other two should line up perfectly when placed on top. Except, well, they don’t. Even a copy of the background image placed on the page doesn’t line up.
You can see my test page at http://www.thisismybus.com/hires/
I have tried both normal and passthrough graphics along with GIF or PNG files and each time the graphics won’t line up properly with the background. Hopefully there’s an obvious quick fix I’ve overlooked.
I am viewing the page at standard (low) resolution in Safari on an iMac as Santa passed me by when handing out something with a retina display. I have included a screen shot that is outlined in black on the page in case you can’t see what I am seeing. I have tried several other browsers and the effect is the same in all of them.
As an aside when I copy and paste one high resolution graphic the pasted copy is identical. However if I select two or more high resolution graphics at the same time the pasted copies are half the size of the originals.
All the best
