Can it be in a watermark? Something like this perhaps:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{draftwatermark}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \SetWatermarkText{Not Cleared for Public Release}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \SetWatermarkFontSize{42pt}

Agreeed - I believe it's a long standing weakness in the implementation
of the exporter and I also believe we'll see a reimplementation (soon?)
based on Nicolas's parser. BTW, I wonder what the parser says about text
before the first headline.
