bg-gradient auto-transparent calculation doesn't work when parent element uses two colour gradient
**What version of Tailwind CSS are you using?**

v3.0.24

**What build tool (or framework if it abstracts the build tool) are you using?**

postcss-loader@7.0.0 webpack@5.72.1
Also through cdn package <script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>

**What version of Node.js are you using?**

v16.15.0

**What browser are you using?**

Firefox, Chrome, Safari
All latest

**What operating system are you using?**

macOS

**Reproduction URL**

https://play.tailwindcss.com/w4cImWRzrB

**Describe your issue**

When creating a transparent gradient the guidance is to not include to-transparent to let tailwind calculate the correct transparent to color to avoid a safari bug. If this happens on a child element where the parent element uses a gradient background with two colors defined then the transparent color is set to the parents to color.
