if is easier to jump from the solder joint to the laminate and that distance is greater than the plug gap than yes electricty follows what it senses as the shortest resistance path compare the plug wire+ boot+ gap distance .
Just make certain the engine frame body used as the ground reference for the plug is also interconnected with the magneto base. … otherwise the coil will see just the laminate as a return path
plug wires should be solid strand and offer pretty much 0 ohms to the spark path from the solder joint to the plug boot!
in any event why not try some corona dope on the solder joint to make it harder for the spark to jump to the laminate… hopefully HV it will be redirected to the lesser second best path… the sparkplug 🙂
