I believe that this is just as simple as the import preview window does not show existing transparency, while Photoshop does. Just flatten the rasterised image and move on, there is nothing to be concerned about here (unless you happen to be importing a flattened PDF 1.3 that has stitching artefacts once rasterised, then you need to jump through some hoops to fix things up).
