I find it hard to believe that something as common as IPMI in conjunction with the IPMI technology wasn't tested in Intel's lab. From my experience with Intel Server boards, onboard IPMI (all offered versions) and e100/e1000 NICs, I've never ever experienced any problems operating the BMC over the NIC. Also, I don't quite understand you point about the "IPMI card sharing the 100Mbit/s NIC" onboard? What exactly is shared?
