I think you're doing overanalysis. 'Unreliable narrator' simply means 
that the narrative isn't the absolute complete truth of what happened. 
Which, actually, applies to any narrative. What Gene Wolfe does - as 
other did and do - is to craft that part of his work, instead of leaving 
it to be a subproduct.
