OK, that's a deal killer for this approach.

However, my understanding is that the current code actually works for
runtime PM just fine.

What Brian seems to be wanting is to make system resume synchronize
the wakeup interrupt at one point, so maybe there could be a "sync"
version of dev_pm_disable_wake_irq() to be invoked then?
