USB remote _does_ work.

That's right.

There's a simple solution: Call device_set_wakeup_enable() for the
device!  You can do this from the command line by:

	echo auto >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/control

where the "..." is the pathname for your device.

For USB keyboards, wakeup _is_ enabled by default.  See this section of 
code close to the end of usbhid_start():

	/* Some keyboards don't work until their LEDs have been set.
	 * Since BIOSes do set the LEDs, it must be safe for any device
	 * that supports the keyboard boot protocol.
	 * In addition, enable remote wakeup by default for all keyboard
	 * devices supporting the boot protocol.
	 */
	if (interface->desc.bInterfaceSubClass == USB_INTERFACE_SUBCLASS_BOOT &&
			interface->desc.bInterfaceProtocol ==
				USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_KEYBOARD) {
		usbhid_set_leds(hid);
		device_set_wakeup_enable(&dev->dev, 1);
	}

How about leaving everything the way it is now?  If you want to enable 
wakeup for something like a USB mouse, you can write a udev script to 
do it as shown above.
