Let me see if I got this right.

甲　　乙
i yi
e ye
o wo

A few questions, in no particular order:

1) Where does [wi] (ゐ/ヰ) fit into this?
2) Vovin bases his judgments on intonation, right? How is intonation
related?
3) If the distinction seen in the manyogana stops being made in the
Heian period, why is it that we have e/ye, o/wo, and i/wi distinctions
into the Meiji Period? (Cf. Meiji ads for ヰスキー).
4) What is your reasoning for arriving at the above hypothesis?
5) What language did the Japanese and Koreans speak to each other
during the 5th-6th century Japanese occupation(s?) of Korea? Might
there be any Korean place names (for example) that would shed light on
Japanese phonology of this period?
6) Aren't there a couple of Manyoshu poems that are nonsensical unless
read as Korean?
If this is true, couldn't the "manyogana transliteration" of the
Korean sounds shed any light on what the sounds actually were?
