Yes, thats my understanding too, again based on taking to people like
Nilesh, because the documentation just doesn't mention this clearly.
The 4430 TRM is a tad bit better like you said.

I guess your confusion of IO wakeups working with EN_IO_CHAIN set to '0'
is also probably coming from the fact that the bit itself is called
*EN_IO_CHAIN* which is a completely *wrong* name for the bit, as
compared to what it does.
That bit is actually used to send a WUCLK pulse through the chain, so
you set it to '1' and wait for it to propagate through the chain, then
you set it to '0' and again wait for it to propagate through.

The control to enable/disable is at 2 levels, a global switch which is
'EN_IO' in case of OMAP3 and the one at the individual pad level.

You can also read this thread which has some more explanation based on
my understanding of how this works
