Create the image with no magic pink, only transparent layers.
Flatten the image so there's one layer with transparency.
ctrl-click the image in the layer palette to select non-transparent pixels.
Create a new layer below that one using the selection as a mask. (this might be 2 steps depending on what ver. you're using)
With the mask on the new layer selected, adjust the brightness/contrast and set the contrast to 100%.
Add your magic pink layer at the bottom and save it.
You'll still get a halo, but this way you can make it blend in so it's not noticable.
