I am having trouble obtaining the alpha channel of a pngquant/tinypng file using imread. Is there another function that handles this properly?
Used:
[img,imgMap,imgAlpha] = imread('some_pngquant_file.png');
img (mxn uint8 matrix), imgMap (256x3 double matrix with values in [0,1]), imgAlpha is empty
img entries index into imgMap rows (RGB values in [0,1]). Could it be that I'm interpreting this improperly?

The imread documentation says "For PNG files, transparency is the alpha channel, if present. If no alpha channel is present, ... then transparency is []."
Are you sure your image file has an alpha channel?

Yes, unless the image viewer is creating a transparency layer on its own, which I doubt.
Upon opening the pngquant'ed file in Photoshop. I can view the transparency layer, i.e., select layer, Menu: Layer -> Layer Mask -> From Transparency, then viewing the mask channel through the 'Channels' tab.

The sample "Firefox logo" image I found that had been created by the open source library did not have an Alpha channel. Instead, imfinfo says that 'Transparency' is 'simple' and there is a SimpleTransparencyData property that appears to give some kind of alpha mapping. The PNG specification does not permit true Alpha channels for indexed (pseudocolor) images.
Looking at http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/book/chapter08.html#png.ch08.div.5.2 the implication is that all entries past the end of the provided SimpleTransparencyData are the maximum (fully opaque.)
This leads to:
filename = 'NameOftinyPNG.png';
minfo = imfinfo(filename);
ACHAN = mfinfo.SimpleTransparencyData;
ACHAN(end+1:256) = 1;
[img, imgMap] = imread(filename);
AMAP = ACHAN(double(img)+1);
image(img, 'AlphaData', AMAP);
colormap(imgMap);
