DepthOfField Makes BillboardGui Elements Semi-Transparent

The new DepthOfField post process effect makes BillboardGui-parented GuiObjects with 0 transparency, act as if they’re semi-transparent.

This only happens when the BillboardGui is rendering where the in-focus and out-of-focus points meet.

Example:

Here’s a repro file:

Position your camera somewhere near a BillboardGui and slide the InFocusRadius up/down and you will notice the behaviour.

Expected behaviour would be the GuiObjects become blurred, not semi-transparent as well. I do not know if this happens with SurfaceGuis or only Billboard.
