OK that is really odd. I am on Mac and in preview the blue rectangle
is not the same size as yours, but when I click on it it changes to a
dashed black rectangle bordering the enter page and the blue goes away.
Sorry, I don't speak PDF content streams to know what the content
stream is telling me.
In the PDF 32000 specification look for "operator summary". I'll
annotate a few below.
For what you want to do (I haven't understood all the words - I assume
you want to cover parts so that you see only one line of notes) it would
be easier to create the annotations as new instead of copying them.

I tried for a simpler goal, just take that annotation and
translate it to cover the entire output page, but even that did
not work as can be seen in the output pdf. Something is getting
in the way and adding its own coordinate translation but I cannot
figure out what.
The annotation of the target PDF does cover the entire page. Click
on the left border of the page in Adobe Reader and you'll see the
rectangle. However...
I suspect you're unhappy with the blue rectangle. This could be
because of the appearance stream which you took from the source
unchanged:
