before suspend existed this was the only useful case for WoL. Why does it not seem a
good idea to wake up a machine that was shutdown (and thus the interface `downed`) ?

Interestingly it looks like e100 is one of the ones that only wakes from
suspend (not when down).
that would be a bug, I'll have to get that checked especially after the latest changes
to it.
Sorry, my bad my test machine was not setup properly.
I don't blame you, WoL is one of the hardest features to get right, especially with all
the various e100{,0} hardware and options that influence it (manageability, eeproms, etc).
On top of that there's this blob called BIOS messing it all up after a
powercycle :)
