Jim,

The passage in Mmd-pṭ is following Pj I 15:
ettha ca yathā loke avagantā avagato ti vuccati, evaṃ *bujjhitā saccānī*
ti buddho. yathā paṇṇasosā vātā paṇṇasusā ti vuccanti, evaṃ *bodhetā
pajāyā* ti buddho.

Ñāṇamoli has a note:  Pj I Trsl p.7 n.15.

I think the usage here is clear. Loke in passages like this is simply
referring to general usage in Sanskrit and Middle Indian. All that is
being said is that the relationship between the agent noun bujjhita(r)
and the past participle buddha is the same as the relationship between 
the agent nouns and past participles in ancient Indic languages
generally, illustrated by the agent noun avaganta(r) and the past
participle avagata.
