Bingo ! It was the battery: it provided only 1.2 V. That was enough to
keep CMOS content, but apparently, it did muck up the wake-up circuits.

I did not think that a Lithium battery could be exhausted after only 2
years or so. Apparently, my mobo consumes more power than my watch....

Now that I've replaced the battery, wake-up works normally.

Thanks for the help. (and sorry for the late reply)
