It did convert the pages as they are straight to LRF and Epub. Calibre didn't add a thing which means the code was there all of the time. PDF has the ability to hide things but they are there and get converted.

You could take the ePub, open it in Sigil, find the code that is placing the water mark there then use find/replace to remove it all. For help with Sigil go to the Sigil forum.
