This work-around doesn't work with the current version of LO (7.4.1.2) anymore.
However, it brings a lot of bugs to the surface. I created Bug #151151 to show
the ones I found (all together seven of them). 

All these issues could be avoided with a solution like @Heiko also proposed in
Comment #9. The only difference is that I would implement the UI with a pair of
radiobuttons rather than a checkbox because it makes it easier to compare the
result of the two settings.

Regarding the discussion whether the watermark should be in front of everything
or behind everything, I think it should work like a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp on
documents. It should cover everything. I cannot see any advantage of the other
way but seemingly there are others who can. That's why I believe it should be
adjustable in a straightforward way.


Note: I am opened to see a real world example why it can be useful. The
wikipedia page of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermark says stamp
(overprint) is also a watermark:
