Magi = plural form
If I haven't forgotten my Latin, magi is either nominative plural (as you said) or genitive singular. Since nominative plural doesn't really make grammatical sense, the only grammatical way to interpret "puella magi" would be with "magus" as a genitive noun rather than an adjective, i.e. "girl of the wise man"/"girl of the magus" instead of "magical girl" which as mentioned earlier would have to be "puella maga."

On the other hand if "puella" is supposed to be ablative it could be "the wise men with/from/by the girl." But who knows.

EDIT: @omimon I believe it's official, otherwise you'd be getting jihouonna telling you the video was removed. Especially because the videos are region blocked, which would not happen with a normal upload.
