I would hope they wouldn't change anything in the text. If they did I'd feel cheated and I'm sure most authors would as well. I'd be surprised if they did that.
I'm not bothered by watermarking. I don't think it's at all accusatory. It's a recognition that some people are dishonest. I suspect that there actually are a few dishonest people in this world.
I think the most important reason for DRM from the publisher's point of view is probably to make them feel safe when selling digital books. Hopefully watermarking will do that and will be one of the factors that makes encryption fade into the sunset.
