My suggestion would be: when you open with "Annotate PDF" the first time, check the box "Attach to journal" in the lower-left corner of the dialog box. Then: if you want to change the PDF, simply copy the new pdf file you want to use as background over filename.xoj.bg.pdf and reopen filename.xoj in xournal. (This works if the two PDF files have the same page size and number of pages, otherwise some pages will be wrongly scaled or missing). (The drawback is that it creates a new accompanying file for each xoj file, but so does Page -> Load background...) (The other option, if you didn't use "attach to journal", is to use a text editor to change the name of the pdf file being annotated in the xoj file, it's there just once near the beginning -- but since that requires decompressing the xoj file with gunzip and really feels like a hack, I don't recommend it.) We should have a more reasonable mechanism for the user to do these things within xournal (and other things like rearranging pdf pages, merging pdf files, etc.) -- but no great idea for the user interface and no time to implement it or even think about it carefully at the moment.
