So, "boot=on" means in fact "bootable=true"

I guess. I don't know that the later is more clear. I think the source of the confusion is the entire concept of "first bootable harddisk" which is what -boot c really means.

FWIW, the reason media=cdrom,boot=on doesn't work, is that a CDROM's boot record is in el torito format instead of the traditional BIOS boot sector.

media=cdrom,boot=on would work if the image was a disk image instead of an ISO.

In fact, I'm inclined to think that media=cdrom,boot=on should not be explicitly prohibited because of this fact.
