Hi Michael - sorry for the delayed reply. I don't think pdftex can
reliably decide (at the engine level) which page attributes to include,
if they come from two different places. Maybe the answer is to hack the
wallpaper package so it doesn't try to do this?

Or maybe Ulrike or another person here has a better idea. Asking on one
of the forums (tex.stackexchange.com, latex.org), together with a
runnable example, might also turn up more answers. --happy texing, karl.
