CCMotionStreak not visible over a CCSprite

[Jbonavita]

I have a really simple game that, for now, uses CCMotionStreak to show a streak when I touch is moving.
I added a single layer to the scene and add the CCMotitionStreak to that layer. As the touch moves, the streak displays. This works perfect.
However, as soon as I add a background image, the streak no longer shows. The image is added before the layer so that shouldn't be an issue.

If I remove the background image, the streak displays fine.

I also tried setting the ZOrder = 1000 for the motion streak as well without luck.

    public override void OnEnter()
    {
        base.OnEnter();
        var backgroundLayer = new CCLayer();
        layer = new CCLayer();
        
        AddChild(backgroundLayer);
        AddChild(layer);
        
        layer.AddEventListener(new CCEventListenerTouchAllAtOnce { OnTouchesBegan = OnTouchesBegan,
            OnTouchesEnded = OnTouchesEnd,
            OnTouchesMoved = OnTouchesMoved});

        background = new CCSprite("background.png")
        {
            AnchorPoint = CCPoint.AnchorMiddle,
            Position = layer.BoundingBox.Center
        };

        backgroundLayer.AddChild(background);
    }

    private void CreateMotionStreak()
    {
        motionStreakNode = new CCMotionStreak(.8f, .1f, 30, CCColor3B.White, "streak.png")
        {
            AnchorPoint = CCPoint.AnchorMiddle
        };

        layer.AddChild(motionStreakNode);
    }

    private void OnTouchesMoved(List<CCTouch> touches, CCEvent arg2)
    {
        if (touches.Count > 0 && motionStreakNode != null)
            motionStreakNode.Position = touches[0].Location;
    }

    private void OnTouchesEnd(List<CCTouch> touches, CCEvent arg2)
    {
        if (touches.Count > 0)
        {
            motionStreakNode.RemoveFromParent();
        }
    }

    void OnTouchesBegan(List<CCTouch> touches, CCEvent touchEvent)
    {
        if (touches.Count > 0)
        {
            CreateMotionStreak();
            motionStreakNode.Position = touches[0].Location;
        }
    }
