That doesn't jive with the history in TFA — the Unicode name and location was inferred from the symbol itself without knowledge of its meaning.

I don't see the contradiction. The only thing they used from the name is the "right angle" aspect. Given their argument is this is a composition of thunderbolt + X, for some X (and derived from their prior knowledge of thunderbolt's compositional meaning), deciphering the image as "thunderbolt + right angle" is trivial and consistent with the naming origin in TFA.
