  Brief power outage, perhaps?  ...

 note: the box is a laptop; I hit the power-off button and pulled
 out the 220V power cable of the power-supply from the outlet
 (that's why later the laptop after 2h uptime failed with battery
 empty) ...

So much for the power-bounce theory.

Perhaps you have a poltergeist?  :)

 I'm searching for monkeys or intruders ...

Brief power outage, perhaps?  Some BIOS have a selection of what to
do when power is restored from an outage, typical choices being to
start up, remain off, or return to the state before power was lost.
Others may offer only the first two, or be hardwired to one of them
with no opportunity to choose a different behavior.

What communications cables were still plugged in, and is the BIOS set to 
boot in reaction to certain things happening on them?  Have you read 
through all your BIOS settings looking for clues?

the only cable at all was the cable to the power-supply which itself was
without power; no LAN, no modem, no parallel printer was attached;

my Wifi-router was powered off as well;

 and is the BIOS set to 
 boot in reaction to certain things happening on them?

there are no option visible in the BIOS for wake-up on XXX;

 Have you read 
 through all your BIOS settings looking for clues?

yes;

 Last night I powered down my laptop (with the power-off button), the

It did not power down, it suspended. Check hw.acpi.power_button_state or maybe 
you pressed too short or too long.

 $ sysctl hw.acpi.power_button_state

 but the other messages (you have cut out) says that it run through shutdown
 at 23:06:33 and later at 23:42:42 it did a normal re-boot while I was
 sleeping already; this does not make sense; don't you agree?


Right, I'm not awake yet. 36 minutes is odd. The only scenario I can think of:
- acpi shutdown did not work, it was instead a 'halt' and in your sleep you 
pressed the any key to start the reboot ;)

You can see if shutdown works properly by shutdown -p NOW. Then try the same 
using the power button, just in case there's something different. If that all 
works, search for monkeys.

Both worked fine in bring the system to halt and power-off state; I'm
always using the power button and never ever saw this problem;
