Here we are only concerning the spoken sound I think.

The point is, that if -oy is pronounced separate from the consonant, you 
must make a short break, a short stop - hence some kind of a glottal stop.

One cannot say [CVC-oy] without getting [CVC-'oy]
Compare {patoy} [PA-TOY] and {pat'oy} [PAT-OY]

Keep in mind its background, being a mispronunciation of {vavwI'}

When I say that, it's mostly BUR-ghoy. Indeed confirming what you said, 
but also because the reson I wrote above in the first line.
