Nah, it's probably OK. When I pulled the drain plug on my '83 760's M46, it looked similar. The trans operates with no issues. I think that stuff builds up from people trying to jam it into reverse while the car is still going forward. Bet all your gears work fine. That's what the magnet is for; it's doing its job.
I agree the M46 is not the most desirable setup, though. Are you going to go through the trouble of getting the wiring for the overdrive all set up, or just drive it for a while with no OD until or a simple jumper rigged up until you get around to putting in a T5?
I have a box full of disemboweled injection pumps and parts. I'll see if I can dig down to it later today and take some pictures.
