The answer is to insert the background image and text as a drawing (insert > drawing).
The drawing tools allow ordering of layers unlike the normal editor.

3Putting text into a drawing dramatically lowers the quality of the text during printing. The best way might be to print a sheet with the watermark, and then print again with a normal document over the top!– gladedMar 9, 2016 at 18:30

That's true this would be certain less than ideal. You might be able to get better results by ensuring the image is the exact size and resolution for your document to avoid resizing it out of the drawing tools. Mar 9, 2016 at 20:17

Google has now introduced a new "Watermark" feature that does the job perfectly. See Insert->Watermark. It even allows precise positioning outside the margins and sizing. Apr 4, 2022 at 14:38
