I'm curious though: did older kernels, say 2.6.18, have such issues?
If not, it may still be a software issue ... if you had to use the
sysfs based workaround before, I'm happy to call it a hardware issue.

Not just that ... it also fixed the problem where quirk entries
saying "don't even try using remote wakeup" stopped working.

Once some pending PPC-related OHCI patches merge (support for
PS3 and other CELL systems), there will be infrastructure that
makes it easier to add quirk entries that say "this board can't
do remote wakeup properly". At that point, we can start to
collect quirks for boards like this one.
