Having been in the Temple of Set for close to 20 years
now, I can unequivocally state that there is no plan or
action directed toward the infiltration or redirection of
Paganism. If there were, I'd have seen it.

About ten years ago there was a major upheaval within
the Temple of Set, apparently caused by some people
more interested in politics and power games within the
organization than in Initiation. Many people left at that
time, some from disenchantment, some in anger, some
because their political plans had been spoiled.

My guess is that OZ got this tale from someone who used
that story to get on OZ's good side, knowing his dislike or
hatred for anything to do with the Temple of Set. Again,
there's nothing to it -- there is no such agenda, plan, or
action.
