I'm not sure what means you used but at least Lamport's 
book on LaTeX describes; some commands change the style 
of the current page so one need a subsequent \thispagestyle 
to override the changes (cf. p.89-90).

So \thispagestyle{empty} after \maketitle would do
what you want.

Is this not sufficient documentation?
