Ian,
It is doubtful that magnets will help with the trip charachteristics. Effectively there is a little electromagnet inside the breaker. When the current gets to the trip point the magnet attracts an armature that is connected to a release mechanism, which lets go and the spring in the breaker pulls it open. Adding magnets may even make it trip at a lower current. Remember, these breakers are designed to be stacked up next to each other inside an electrical panel so stray magnetic fields are present all the time.
Good Luck
