Qemu have it's own version of ipxe, (check the version string when ipxe
start you should see the start of git id)
So even if /dev/sdb boot fails it can boot ipxe from.
in this case you use network boot directly so /dev/sdb is not used at all
is my guess.

Try the qemu command without -boot n

please try dd if=bin/ipxe.usb of=/dev/sdb
Might be that you create a file with different name instead of writing to
the usb drive.
Also if dd does not have access to write to the disk then qemu probably
won't have access to read (you can skip the sudo part, or you need sudo for
qemu as well)
