I know the pun behind the slang noun {bolwI’}, but AFAIK {maghwI’} is a normal derivation of {magh} “betray,  act against”.

René Magritte painted "La Trahison des images".

That seems like a coincidence to me, not a pun. The puns in TKD aren't so sophisticated. Nowadays he knows we look for them right away; back then he didn't know he had any particular audience.
