those don't strike me so much as misdirection as the kind of thing that writers like to do (they're all English majors, after all). Writers adore things like symbolism and symmetry, especially in the elite media environment where single episodes are submitted for Emmys instead of single seasons. Basically, in an episode about the king dying, writers are apt to add a whole lot of subtlety about kings dying
To me, Pycelle being sent to the kitchen is plot misdirection, while Olenna saying stuff about killings at weddings is milieu setting and hidden nuggets for a rewatch
