For what it's worth, I am using xsltproc and fop. 

You are right. Draft mode does not remove graphics. However, the graphics are
drawn on top of the watermark, so if they are large enough, they will hide it.
That is what happened. Because I had only one image in my test document 
(a screenshot that I was displaying as large as possible) , I assumed that draft
mode made it disappear.
