Have you tried putting the background objects on the root layer (always visible, accessible via XML Editor), and export using '--export-id' but omitting '--export-id-only' so that the visible background elements below the selected layer are rendered into the exported bitmap as well?
*embarrassed* scrap that - you'd still need to toggle the layer visibility in-between.
Another thought: take look at the export options of JessyInk (part of Inkscape 0.48 [1]) and the python script it is based on. Maybe you can reuse it to create your own export extension? JessyInk also uses a global background layer (for the presentation).
