For firing off an alarm, no it doesn't, actually, since the system isn't actually booted.

No, it isn't just firing off an alarm (from a ram-suspended state or other). It is turning itself on, from the power OFF state (the one that is safe to take out the battery from), running all of the initscripts, opening the clock or alarm function, and playing a wav. file. Again from the power OFF state. Even, the newbie website has a whole page that states that it saves more power to leave the tablet on than turn it off. All I want to know is if this feature previously existed, or if a phantom is present in my machine?

You really don't actually understand what's going on, do you?
Anyway, search around, the feature has been explained in-depth before. Like I said, it's one of those neat things about ARM that you can come out of OFF very quickly to do small things like firing off alarms and then go back down just as quickly.

Well, in case of OMAP2 we are not using dynamic power switching, even if it would be supported. Reason being that it's not worth. So yes, it is really off and it has to boot. In fact after showing the alarm it asks the user if it should stay on or go back to off. We also perform a check on battery level when booting, to verify if it's worth to try to boot or not.
After the alarm has been shown, i found out that the notification was left forever on the screen with back light on. It killed my battery one day that was a bank holiday and i was just too lazy to leave the bed for acking the wakeup alarm.
So i had our alarm guys to fix this behavior.
Hope this helps, but I am not sure I have really understood the original question.
