I saw that backing! That's what made me pass on their sheets - plus I didn't like the hand-feel of the muslin (really important for anything that is part of my quilt).
I've been reading on the cotton.org website and it's interesting to me that muslin is a lower grade cotton than santeen or percale. So the sheets really should provide a superior wear.

Although recently I found 108" muslin for backing at Walmart for $6.97 a yard.
