I am trying to use the ant retrieveUnpackaged call with the SFDC Migration tool to download some email templates.

I pulled the package.xml from the Force.com IDE and for whatever reason the Email isn't being downloaded in this call even when the following is included in the package.xml file:

<types>
    <members>*</members>
    <name>EmailTemplate</name>
</types>

Is this a quirk of the migration tool? Everything else is being downloaded except this directory.

No errors are reported.

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

EmailTemplate does not support the wildcard operator; you will have to individually name each template. See the docs at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/daas/Content/daas_package.htm for constructing a project manifest for a complete list of which objects do and do not support wildcards.
