Well, I think the point is, that ixpc is for general use and not for wmii only. The same applies for IXP_ADDRESS. But wmii sets (and exports) IXP_ADDRESS to point to the wmii filesystem, so no other program can use it anymore... Either one should explicitly pass the wmii-address to ixpc on any call or have a modified ixpc (=wmiir) which uses WMII_ADDRESS instead of IXP_ADDRESS. At least, the way it is now appears inconsistent to me: ixpc is for wmii only, but has a general name. Actually, a simple wrapper (called wmiir) that takes the address from WMII_ADDRESS and passes it on to ixpc would do the job.
