It is indeed a packet. And all of the utils I have seen to perform a WOL to
a device use MAC addresses, so routing would not be possible. Now that I
think about it, this would be the only way this would work unless you could
build a tcp/ip stack into the rom of a nic. (otherwise the OS would already
have to be awake to make use of it's tcp/ip stack)

Could you capture with a protocol analyzer the actual Wake on LAN packet?
It's always been a mystery to me. But my guess is that it's not a routable
packet.
On the other hand, is it even a packet or it is just an electrical surge or
something?
I suggest you find out more about what the Wake on LAN sender actually
sends. Maybe somebody else knows. We did discuss it once before. Check the
archives. We did not discusss it from the point of view of it crossing a
router, though.
