Indeed, you got it! 
I had it on, and turning that off lets me suspend just fine after activating WoWLAN!

The problem is that it seems I cannot actually wake the machine anymore afterwards... 
While in the suspend procedure, I see:
[12385.893568] iwlwifi 0000:0a:00.0: System wakeup enabled by ACPI
as expected, I could neither get it to make a tcp connection in tcp-connection mode,
nor could I wake the machine via magic packet in magic-packet mode. 

Could that be some hardware / system firmware limitation, e.g. if my UEFI does not support actually powering
the WiFi hardware if I am in S3? I have yet to (re)check the UEFI config, but since the options are
extremely limited on this Alienware laptop, I guess I will not find anything related to that. 

At least, the suspend problem seems to be clearly related to some path only used if CONFIG_IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM is on.
