The page masters for draft.mode in the stylesheets output
a background image.  Take a look at any of those page
masters fo/pagesetup.xsl, such as:

  <fo:simple-page-master master-name="blank-draft">

It sets a bunch of extra attributes on the <fo:region-body>.

If you are using FOP, notice in that template that it
doesn't output the background image if $fop.extensions isn't
zero, because FOP doesn't support all the attributes
for background images.  See the FOP compliance page for
a description:  http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
