Yes its true that the magnetic wave propagates at the speed of light.
But what happens at the fundamental frequency of the coil and several
octaves above it,  is that various waves from each element of the coil
interfere with each other such that the direct wave is cancelled and only a
slow wave propagates and eventually appears at the far end.

It is similar to light traveling thru a glass block. Though the glass block
is mostly empty space and therefore you might expect some light to pop out
the far side of the block in just the time it takes light to travel that
distance in a vacuum. However this does not happen because the effect of all
the waves scattered inside the glass by the atoms interfere with each other
and the overall effect is a wave that travels more slowly (usually for
visible light and common glass).

I think this has been expalained in detail before. Possibly you can find a
more detailed explaination in the archives.
