Perhaps you didn't read the question.  This is a common problem;
many commands in various styles will happily set \thispagestyle{plain}
even if you've done a \thispagestyle{empty}.  You could turn off
pagenumbering in an entire document by

\pagestyle{empty}
\makeatletter \ps@plain=\ps@empty \makeatother

but I wouldn't recommend it, because it's grotesque.
