So, they said nothing at all about an alternate missed approach until you
told them that in the event of a miss you'd like to go to MGW, and the
discussion took place inside the FAF? Is that right? There's a definite
ATC error here then. Clearance for the approach is clearance for the
missed
approach procedure, so if there's conflicting traffic on the published
miss
there's a separation error.

Outside the FAF, I told them I intended to go missed no matter what the
weather was. I asked for and received a clearance for DIRECT MGW after
executing the published missed.

Then inside the FAF they told me DIRECT MGW was my alternate missed
instruction, and I declined that clearance for the reasons already
discussed.

So yes, it seems as if there was a separation error because there was
conflicting traffic on the published missed yet I was cleared for the
approach.
