I remember a friend of mine buying a set of Mag wheels plus the store sold
him some spray cans to paint and seal the wheels to air leaks. Yes I would
say that Mag wheels were porous. I would also think that the manufacturing
process could control the porosity but I have no experience with magnesium.

Anyway -- back to wheels -- could it be that real magnesium wheels were a
bit porous to begin with, even when new, which is part of the reason why the
old mag wheels needed tubes in the day (beyond the bead design)?
