It seems the alarm function can only cause an ordinary interrupt in a
unmodified recorder, and we need either an NMI or a RESET in order to leave
standby. We can ask the watchdog timer to send a RESET after 2 minutes,
which should be seldom enough to consume as little power as if we were in
standby the whole time.
