Ok, I triend this now.

I created a simple halt.local file. If I run it manually (without
shutting the system down), "Wake-on" is set to 'g' - that's correct!
But when I shut down the machine it does not power up with a "Magic
packet". And when I switch it on manually, I can see the Wake-on is
back to 'd' again. :-( 

I tried to implement a simple log file, so that I could see that
halt.local is actually running on shutdown. And now I know it is.
But 'Wake-on' still gets Disabled when the machine is powered down.

Here's my halt.local file:
#!/bin/sh
# file: /sbin/halt.local
echo "halt.local started" > /tmp/halt.log
echo "Running ifconfig eth0 up" >> /tmp/halt.log
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
echo "Done. Now running ethtool -s eth0 wol g" >> /tmp/halt.log
/usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g
echo "Done." >> /tmp/halt.log
sleep 5
echo "Slept for 5 seconds." >> /tmp/halt.log
echo "Script finished" >> /tmp/halt.log

Here's what I get in my /tmp/halt.log after a shutdown:
# cat /tmp/halt.log
halt.local started
Running ifconfig eth0 up
Done. Now running ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Done.
Slept for 5 seconds.
Script finished

What's wrong with my set-up???
