Ok, solved. The problem was that I was using $HOME/.wmii-3.5, as stated in the README file, and not $HOME/.wmii as folder for wmiirc. This is due to the fact the the variable CONFVERSION in wmii.mk is not set to anything. I don't know if this is the desired behavior but maybe the readme should be updated. The latest alfa also does not set correctly the variable CONFPREFIX, but this seems to be fixed in the hg version. (this is why I had the problem: no global wmiirc, no local wmiirc...)
