Ideally, what I would like is something like this (the
vertical position of the background text does not really
matter):

But I don't know how to tell the processor to use all the
available vertical space for the inner table.

Unfortunately I don't. Depending on the length of the text
within them, the height of the spanned rows can vary. So if I
understand correctly what you've said, it is not possible to
achieve this goal in plain XSL-FO, is it?
Firstly, if you hadn't wanted one "DRAFT" over multiple cells, you could
have the "background-image" property on every cell that is in the draft
state.
Secondly, this achieves the desired effect when using Antenna House:
