--> Property z-index is not supported. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html (search for "z-index").



--> Adding a background image (e.g. "data/coverimage") to your 
"frontcover" page-master (not to the flow) should allow you to achieve 
what you want.

How to do this is documented here:

4.10. Adding a watermark to the generated document
