Throwaway line is like when Marjorie Liu noted Lorna and Gambit were once horsemen during Iceman's arc in Astonishing X-Men. You know there's no plans for it, it's not going to factor into the story being told, there hasn't been an undercurrent across multiple books of trying to remind people about it, it's obvious that it's just a quick nod.
It was nothing more than a joke in the intro page of Strange Academy. Which hardly ever go into any actual panel development. So they are definitely usually throwaway. It's like teaser variants where nothing like the cover goes on in the actual comic. Which has been pretty usual for Wanda. Who was featured on covers that she never appeared in during the past few years.
