No- because the cache server on its first request will usually give it an
"X-REQUESTER-IP" (Something like that- I don't remember the exact name
though.)

Isn't it true that transparent caching systems defeat the purpose of web
bugs?

Sure that whoever is running the bug still knows that his email is being
read but he loses the ability to get the specific addresses and only gets
the address of the cache.
